§ Dr. Lynne JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what will be the implications for the operation of his Department of the code of practice on open government.
§ Mr. BoswellThe code of practice will reinforce and build on the Department's existing arrangements for the provision of information. A considerable amount of 883W information is already provided on request to the public through routine correspondence. In addition, the annual publication of performance tables is increasing the amount of information available to parents and others on the achievements of schools and colleges; while the parents, further education and higher education charters also emphasise the importance of information for all those involved.
