§ Mr. Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether a teacher or lecturer may make and keep a recording of an interview by, or meeting with, an inspector for the sake of staff development and safeguarding personal professional reputation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. John MacKayIt requires the agreement of all the parties taking part in an interview or meeting for a recording to be taken. In the case of an interview between a teacher or lecturer and one of Her Majesty's inspectors it would depend on the circumstances whether or not the inspector would agree to a recording being taken.
