HC Deb 14 February 1983 vol 37 c41W
Mr. Peter Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make available to the public inspectors' reports on schools in Northern Ireland, and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Scott

I am not persuaded that inspectors' reports on schools in Northern Ireland should be made available to the public. I am arranging for the publication later this year of a survey of small secondary schools and a general study of small primary schools, both of which will be presented by the inspectorate. I will also be publishing the senior chief inspector's report on the effects of expenditure policies on schools.
