I wish to underline the point which has just been made. I recently chaired a commission on the organisation of secondary schools in one London borough where a sixth form college takes students from no less than six London boroughs besides its own. Has the Minister any idea of the sort of bureaucracy which would be entailed by authorities if they had to do that kind of chasing up? I am sure that that story is replicated in many other sixth form and further education colleges, particularly in large conurbations where many boroughs are cheek-by-jowl and children simply do not stay in their own borough for their education.
