Minister, can you explain how this works? We talked about the flexible workforce development fund. Does the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government come to you and say, “Right, Graeme—we need some savings,” and you offer up suggestions? Alternatively, does she identify, from her department, what could potentially go, and then you have to have a discussion about it? How does it work?

Wow! That’s something.

When will the Erasmus+ replacement for Scotland, which was in your 2021 manifesto, be rolled out?

It is not just me. It was a manifesto commitment that you made in 2021.

To be clear, you and your team offered up the flexible workforce development fund for removal.

Wow!

I will maybe come back in later.

Okay. Apologies for that, convener.

Is that happening right now? Are people losing out right now because of this?

My final question is about how you feed back to Government on all of this. I am not sure that Government fully understands the effects on students of what I would describe as cuts. How do you feed that back?
