I’m not certain that I do accept that, because if we do accept that analysis and accept the suggestion that the Plaid Cymru spokesperson is making, then of course we would have one funding system for all schools across Wales. We would be nationalising, if you like, the local schools. I’m not sure that the Member is asking for that. I certainly wouldn’t wish to see that. So, you’re bound to have some kind of inconsistency, if I might call it that, in different parts of the country that reflects the priorities of the local education authority. That is a matter for local people and for local democracy. Do we believe that the importance of consistency is more important than local democratic needs or priorities? And I think that that’s the broader question.
