I wonder if the hon. Gentleman could help me to understand the definition of quality. As I understand it, in order to be registered, all provision has to meet standards set by Ofsted, which, I imagine, sets standards of quality below which it will not register the provision. In which way does his definition of quality differ from that which would be assessed by Ofsted?
