Okay. You are talking in riddles a bit, Mr Maconachie. Please use plain English and assume that we do not necessarily understand the terms that you are using.

Clearly, the situation is still challenging. I suppose my question for the Scottish Funding Council and the Government is: what are you both doing to make things better?

I am interested in the tripartite group. How is the group itself scrutinised? For example, is the Auditor General sighted on its work?

Has that new policy been approved yet?

That will obviously be of great benefit to individual colleges. Are you waiting for somebody to go for it, so that you can then say, “Right, you are first”?

If the figure is too big, is it possible that the Government will not fully fund it?

Okay. That is really useful.

No decision has been made.

Lynne Raeside, I thought that you were itching to get in at one point.

I mention New College Lanarkshire because it is in my region, but I also mention it because it is a college that has been financially up against it—and it is not alone in that. We have asked before in this committee—and I have asked specifically—about particular colleges that were, let us say, in peril. The Scottish Funding Council had a list of such colleges. You know that we have asked about that before and you have probably watched the meetings in which we discussed the quite short list of colleges at particular risk. I would like to explore where we are now with that.
