Noble Lords would not be saying that if they had a child who had just received an Oxbridge offer and had been there on free school meals. On the broader question of funding in the system, we announced last year an additional £1.3 billion.

We are doing a great deal to support schools in becoming more efficient, which I can perhaps deal with in responding to later questions.
