I am grateful to the Secretary of State for giving way and I immediately take this first opportunity to echo my party's recognition of the tremendous work done by Lord Dearing.
The Secretary of State referred to participation in higher education, and was boastful about his—or his Government's—record on that. Will he confirm whether the Government stick by the target of 50 per cent. participation for under-30s by 2010? If he confirms that target, how does he reconcile it with the fact that the Government are now capping student numbers?
