HC Deb 25 February 1981 vol 999 c378W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ask Her Majesty's Inspectorate to investigate the effects that reductions in public expenditure are having upon education standards in Scotland.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

Education standards are already kept under review by Her Majesty's Inspectorate, and I see no need for a special investigation at present.
