I understand the point that the Minister is making—that if people have decided that they are going to home-educate, they just have to get on with it by themselves—but this is one of those areas where it would be extremely sensible for the public purse to pay some attention to helping those young people sit the exams that they need to pass. I say that knowing that the noble Lord, Lord Storey, has made this argument in the past, and I suspect that he will support it as we go further.
