Shona, I thought that you might want to come in, but you have said that you are all right. Pam Duncan-Glancy has a supplementary question on that theme.

That work in itself sounds quite resource intensive for the institutions, as it will incur costs and pressures. Can you give us an indication of when might we see the report that will lay bare the extent of the crisis in our college estate with regard to capital, maintenance and what will be required? In our report, we linked that back to the net zero targets and ambitions. It is important to note that our buildings across the public sector are a key contributor to those, so I am framing the question around that timeline and area, too.

The committee has spoken at length about the importance of the apprenticeship review. Can you give us any further information on that at this stage or is it still far too early?

We understand that.
I have a brief question that I hope that Gareth Williams might be able to come in on, as well. What measures can colleges and universities consider to bring in additional revenue? I know that that is quite a short question and I have not given you much time to ponder, but does someone want to come in first on that?
