  I think the hon. Lady was referring to reports, but I also think she was just about to give way to the right hon. Gentleman.

• Higher Education (England) Regulations 13 Sep 2017

  Obviously, the House has expressed a view in support of the motion. However, it is an issue for the Secretary of State, who is present now and has been for much of the debate. I am sure that she will wish to reflect on the view of the House and decide how to proceed. It is not a matter for the Chair; it is a matter for the Secretary of State.

• Higher Education (England) Regulations 13 Sep 2017

  As I said, the House has expressed a view. The Secretary of State has been in the Chamber and heard the expression of the view of the House. It is now up to the Secretary of State to decide how to take forward the view of the House.
