Thank you. This is my third question, but it’s still the same area. I am not asking the Minister for specifics. I am not asking for any confidences to be breached or even to name parties he is talking to.

Thank you. Minister, when answering that question you indicated that student numbers had fallen to just above 4,000. I assume that this is [for] government schools. If it is, if that assumption is correct, do you know what the private school number is? Has that gone up or down?
