HC Deb 12 December 1986 vol 107 c301W
Mr. Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the full cost of preparing Her Majesty's inspectors' report on Aberdeen college of education during 1984 to 1986, including costings for all hours worked by the inspectors and their support staff in terms of their salaries and wages, and costings for travel, accommodation, expenses and administration.

Mr. John MacKay

Colleges of education are included in the normal inspection programme of schools and colleges. The disaggregation of the full costs of the inspection of Aberdeen college of education could be undertaken only at disproportionate expense but it required the equivalent of 265 inspector days.
