HC Deb 03 August 1978 vol 955 cc479-80W
Mr. Molloy

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will institute a study of the complement, method of work and terms of reference of Her Majesty's inspectors; and if she will make a statement.

Miss Margaret Jackson

A study of the organisation and management of Her Majesty's Inspectorate is being undertaken as part of the management review of my Department. Between 1974 and 1975 Her Majesty's Inspectorate reviewed the organisation of its own work in primary and secondary education with the result that changes were introduced from January 1977.
