Thank you. Finally from me, the Treasury has fully funded student loan schemes on the basis that costs are broadly comparable across the four nations, as you said. Have they confirmed that will continue to be the case?

Diolch. I'll start by asking this: your 2024-25 accounts were laid before the Senedd on 15 December 2025, which was a few weeks later than the 2023-24 accounts, which were laid on 29 November. Why was that?
