My Lords, we published the report of the consultation—I have it here—and the DIUS response on our website on Thursday 9 October. The DIUS has received around 5,500 responses. Its officials are developing and impact-assessing proposals arising from the consultation as the foundation for a new informal adult learning strategy to be published early next year, surely an appropriate time for a lengthier debate on such a vital issue.
