All the hon. Member's questions relate to modelling the Government's proposals for a Graduate Contribution scheme or variants of it. An assessment of other models relative to the Graduate Contribution scheme was contained in the letters of 11 April, 3 June, and our response to the Select Committee on our Higher Education proposals on 28 July. Further material is also set out in my letter of 12 November. I can also confirm that we plan to publish a Regulatory Impact Assessment before the end of the year that will set out the financial implications of the policies announced in the Higher Education White Paper.
