I want to ask some further questions on the answers that you have just given. First, on the point about mortgage-style loans, could you give some indication of the level of discount that was given, which you undertook to do after Second Reading? Secondly, on the point about transferring risk, is not it the case that if a student dies or goes bankrupt, the Government underwrite that risk? To what extent are we really transferring risk to the private sector?
