Let me make some progress, and then I will take further interventions.
The shadow Secretary of State asked why we prioritised spending on five to 16 rather than 16 to 19. I wonder whether she has checked out what her own party did when they were last in Government. What is interesting to note is that per pupil student funding increased twice as fast for those aged five to 16 between 2005-06 and 2010-11 as it did for those in 16-to-19 education. That is the very thing that she accuses us of doing.

I have said that I am not going to take any more interventions until I have made some more arguments.
As hon. Members decided not to do that, we cannot have a sensible debate—[Interruption.]
