Thank you for that, Catherine. Just following on from what you have just said, obviously there's a lot of concern about the exams and qualifications, how they have been over the last couple of years and, obviously, the higher results that materialised and the…

Yes, thank you for that. You've said that key stage 3 pupils have been particularly affected, as, when secondary schools reopened, they prioritised older groups, obviously, who were going through qualifications. Given that those key stage 3 pupils will soon…

Thank you, Chair. Moving on now to the adverse impact of the pandemic. I'm just going to bunch a few questions into one that I've got, to try and speed things up. I just wanted to ask how damaging you think the pandemic has been on our children and young…

Thank you, Chair. Just three really quick questions—you can choose which ones you want to answer. The first one is on school sixth forms. I just wanted a bit more detail on that. I'm just wondering if there has been a body of work done in more detail on how…

Thank you. But on the contrary, HEFCW argue that the Bill contains a confusing duplication of responsibilities between the commission and Estyn; do you not agree with this? And are there any aspects of the quality assurance system in the Bill that you do…

Thank you, Chair, and the evidence we've received so far has been really useful, so thank you. I just want to ask you: one of the aims of the reforms is to drive parity of esteem between vocational and academic provision. To what extent does having two…

Absolutely, David, thank you for that. And the final question to everybody following on from that: the Welsh Government has considered the option of establishing a separate body to fund research and innovation, in your view, what are the benefits and…

Okay. Thank you. The commission will seemingly have no role or duty with regard to research and innovation activity, and the funding that currently occurs outside the higher education sector. What is your view on that?

Thank you, Chair. The Bill seems to limit the commission to only being able to provide research and innovation funding to registered providers, and this in turn would seem to limit R&I funding to only universities. There is some concern that FE colleges and…

Thank you. This is my last question. What other risks, if any, does the Bill bring for apprenticeship and adult learning provision? Are there any further points you'd like to make on the Bill?

Thank you for those responses. The Minister has explained that parity of esteem between academic and vocational learning is the goal. Do you think this Bill will deliver that ambition, particularly when different types of provision are treated differently in…
