Just to add that the minister's replies to follow up e-mails and to the e-mails of others who have written in the past couple of days have been tempered considerably and use expressions like "I really doubt you'll see anything that would be aptly described as an "elimination" of early immersion" and "Nor do I have anything in mind that would constitute
an "elimination" of early immersion".

Sounds promising. Keep up the pressure I suggest!
