§ Mr. ChaytorTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list, for each GCE and GCSE awarding body for each of the last three years, the total number of requests from candidates for(a) re-marks and (b) re-marks with reports, together with the total number of appeals against decisions lodged by individual examination centres. [112036]
§ Mr. WicksFollowing our 1998 review of the qualifications appeals system we introduced for the first time arrangements for the collection and publication of data on the number of requests for inquiries on results, including re-marks, and appeals. The new arrangements were introduced from summer 1999 and the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority is currently finalising the first set of statistics which will be published later this month.
