Thank you for that. Two colleges are now no longer on that list. What have they done, or what have you done with them?

Sorry, I did not hear the first part. Did you mention a particular college?

I will throw this question out: should colleges be able to offer degrees?

Does it not come back to flexibility? You could have a really ambitious college that is doing something fantastic and thinks that it could offer a degree course but currently is not able to. It would have to offer that in conjunction with a local university. Maybe that is right or maybe it is not. I am just putting out the question to see whether any thought has been given to it.

I go back to regionalisation, in particular in Glasgow and Lanarkshire. From listening to Graeme Dey previously on the matter, I think that he has decided that the current arrangement should end. Are we just waiting for him to make a statement on what happens next?
