My Lords, I thank the Minister for her constructive, positive and comprehensive response to the debate and for her commitment to work with the sector and to resolve the dangerous financial instability of universities. I am delighted that she will engage with the sector on that.
At this stage, I will not attempt to cover the very wide range of contributions. I think that everybody acknowledged the expertise around the House and the
amazing number of ideas that have come out of the debate. All I will add is that the blueprint from Universities UK has provided an invaluable catalyst for a degree of consensus across the House on the issues which were powerfully raised in the report and which universities will need to take seriously when they look both at this debate and at their continuing dialogue with the Government and other stakeholders about the way forward. This is the start of a process, as Universities UK clearly says, and there were so many valuable
suggestions, recommendations and, to some extent, remonstrations for the sector, which all need to be taken very seriously.
I thank all noble Lords for making such wonderful contributions to the debate. I am absolutely delighted that so many people right across the House were prepared to make a contribution on a Thursday afternoon, going on until almost 6 pm.
