I am not quite sure that I follow. To the best of my knowledge, all Catholic schools outside the independent sector are funded by the state.

My Lords, as a former Archbishop of Canterbury, perhaps I might speak on behalf of the absent Bishops’ Benches. I echo the words of the noble Lord, Lord Baker: the very heart of Anglicanism and the Church of England has been a tolerance of and welcome to other faiths. Does the Minister agree that that has always been the focus of education in England, and that we all want it to continue?

The noble and right reverend Lord makes a very important point, and I absolutely agree with him.
