My Lords, I was just pondering how much of a multiple question that one was. We want to create national connections between government departments, whether it is the DCMS, the Department of Health, the Department for Children, Schools and Families, or those dealing with social mobility and a whole range of other factors. We believe in the catalytic value of informal adult learning to the nation as a whole. As for the £120 million to adult education, we maintain that our commitment to sustained funding with £210 million available every year until 2010-11 is genuine and important.
I am sorry; as it was a multiple question, I missed the last point.
