14/07/14 Great news! The government have scrapped their plans to privatise the Land Registry.

UPDATE: 16/09/15 I am pleased to announce that thanks to pressure placed on the Department For Education and Mr Gibb specifically, the DFE has announced plans for the introduction of new Film Studies and Media Studies A level specifications from September 2017.
