I propose to take Questions Nos. 91, 101, 109, 125, 236, 249 and 268 together.
The context for any discussion about PTR or class sizes is that my Department, like all other Government Departments, is operating within a budgetary programme that is designed to return the Government finances to a sustainable basis. My focus is on ensuring we have school places and teachers for the thousands of additional pupils entering our schools each year. These are all matters that I will consider with my colleagues in Cabinet in the context of next week's budget. The Government will endeavour to protect frontline education services as best as possible. However, this must be done within the context of bringing our overall public expenditure into line with what we can afford as a country.
