asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Office for Standards in Education has recently completed a survey of school libraries; whether the results of this survey will be published; and, if not, whether Members of Parliament and other interested persons or organisations may have access to the results of this survey.

The Minister of State, Department for Education and Employment (Lord Henley)

This is a matter for Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools, who heads the Office for Standards in Education. I have asked Mr. Chris Woodhead to write to the noble Baroness.
