On the other amendments in my name in this group, I would be grateful if the Minister could explain to the Committee why the list of accepted institutions set out in Clause 36 does not include academies, including free schools, UTCs and studio schools, given that the list does include 16 to 19 academies. I understand that they are directly accountable to the Secretary of State via the funding agreement, but surely this is the case for 16 to 19 academies too.
