HC Deb 27 November 2001 vol 375 cc781-2W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when she expects her Department's inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the release of the 2001 Key Stage results to conclude; and if she will publish the report. [18526]

Mr. Timms

I expect the inquiry to make a preliminary report before Christmas. A statement will be made as soon as possible thereafter. The National Statistician will comment more generally on the operation of statistical release practices across Government in his National Statistics Annual Report 2001/02 next summer.
