§ Mr. StrawTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what arrangements he has made for the distribution of the annual report of Her Majesty's senior chief inspector of schools "Standards in Education 1987–88", to those within the education service; and whether copies are to be sent to every school;
(2) what was the cost of printing the annual report of Her Majesty's senior chief inspector of schools "Standards in Education 1987–88"; and how many copies were printed.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerTen thousand copies of the senior chief inspector's annual report were printed at a total cost of £2,340. The report has been sent to all chief education officers, to major national bodies within the education service, and to a number of other interested parties. The report has never been sent automatically to every school, but any institution or individual asking for a copy of the report will be sent one.
