I have a long queue of engagements, but I shall add that to the list. It sounds a very promising opportunity.
Diana Johnson (Kingston upon Hull North) (Lab)
Based on the equality impact assessment that I am sure the coalition Government have carried out on their higher education proposals, what will the impact of cutting the higher education teaching grant by 80% be on women?
Mr Willetts
Many part-time students are female, and it is already clear that our proposals to give a proper student loan entitlement to part-time students for the first time, in order to help with their fees, will particularly benefit women. We will publish the full impact assessment alongside our White Paper.
