HC Deb 08 August 1980 vol 990 c366W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what requests he has made for reports on specific matters from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Schools.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

It is not my normal practice to reveal those matters on which I have sought the advice of Her Majesty's Inspectorate. Where appropriate, however, reports of general surveys conducted by the inspectorate are published, as are discussion papers prepared by it as contributions to public debate.
