HC Deb 15 November 2001 vol 374 cc862-3W
Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what discussions she has had with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority with respect to their procedures relating to allegations of cheating in Key Stage 2.[14502]

Mr. Timms

I have received a report on incidents of malpractice in this year's National Curriculum Assessment Tests and their outcomes. I am pleased to note that the majority of reported incidents were minor, with 24 being sufficiently serious to warrant the schools' results being adjusted. Of these, two were whole school annulments, seven were partial annulments in one or more subjects and 15 were cases where individual pupils results were adjusted.
