This is important. I understand what the Minister is saying but at least he could have given us guidance that such Bills would have been in the next Queen's Speech. If we are talking about another period of two years or more, we are looking at total confusion for that period of time in terms of the delivery of education, training and, later on, research. That cannot be what the Government want; it certainly cannot be what the Minister wants.
