HC Deb 26 January 1987 vol 109 c66W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish in the Official Report the number of Her Majesty's inspectors that visited the schools in West Glamorgan as referred to on page 1, paragraph 2 of report by Her Majesty's inspectors on "A Survey of Religious Education in 20 Primary Schools in West Glamorgan."

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Two members of Her Majesty's inspectorate undertook visits to schools in connection with this survey.

Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many of Her Majesty's inspectors involved in visiting schools in West Glamorgan while preparing their report on "A Survey of Religious Education in Primary Schools in West Glamorgan" have had experience of teaching in primary schools.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Two of Her Majesty's inspectors of schools were involved in visits directly related to this survey. Both are specialists in religious education and have considerable experience of all aspects of primary schools, but neither has held a teaching appointment in a primary school.

Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will identify in the Official Report the names of the schools ranked in random order in appendix III of the report by Her Majesty's inspectors of schools on, "A Survey of Religious Education in 20 Primary Schools in West Glamorgan".

Mr. Wyn Roberts

No. The value of the report of this survey would not be enhanced by the identification and attribution of the practices of individual schools.
