HC Deb 07 June 1993 vol 226 c25W
Mr. Hawksley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list those secondary schools chosen in the first tranche to be examined by Her Majesty's inspectorate.

Mr. Robin Squire

The choice of schools being inspected by Her Majesty's inspectors in the current academic year is a matter for Ofsted. Ofsted has published lists of the secondary schools to be inspected in the autumn 1993 and spring 1994 terms by teams led by a registered inspector, under the new independent inspection arrangements introduced by the Education (Schools) Act 1992.

I have asked Professor Sutherland, the chief inspector, to send details to my hon. Friend.
