§ Dr. HowellsThe names of the chief executives and the names and current salaries of the chairmen of the non-departmental bodies requested are as follows. Total costs of the salaries and other emoluments of chief executives for the current financial year will not become available until the year end.
Both the National Council for Vocational Qualifications and the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority closed in October 1997. They were replaced by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. The names of its chief executive and chairman are as listed. The Office for Standards in Education is a Government Department in its own right; questions relating to Ofsted's running costs and other expenditure should be addressed directly to Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Mr. Chris Woodhead. I have asked him to write to the hon. Member and I will place a copy of his reply in the Library.
