Finally, if it about the cost—partly, we should want the NHS to train people—I do not understand why we would exempt the NHS and not other public services. If we are going to do it for one public service, surely we would do it for all of them. I say the immigration skills charge should apply to all public sector organisations, because we should want them to be, if anything, the leading providers of training and upskilling the workforce, rather than the worst. I do not understand Amendment 176; it is a terrible amendment and we should not support it.
