HC Deb 13 March 2000 vol 346 c73W
Mr. Willis

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what guidance he has issued on the appointment of Ofsted inspectors; how many Ofsted inspectors have been appointed in total; and how many of these are members of an ethnic minority. [114164]

Ms Estelle Morris

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has not issued any guidance on the appointment of inspectors. The other parts of the question were answered by Chris Woodhead in a written reply to the hon. Member on 28 February 2000. Copies of the letter are in the Libraries.

Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list the individuals employed or used by Ofsted to undertake inspections of schools, other educational establishments and education authorities, indicating with what private consultancies each is associated. [113659]

Ms Estelle Morris

This is a matter for HM Chief Inspector of Schools and I have therefore asked Chris Woodhead to write to my hon. Friend and to place a copy of his letter in the Library.
