18. Mr. Heath

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will make a statement on the operation of the public examination system. [31418]

The Government are determined to maintain a rigorous and high-quality examination system that commands public confidence. We look to the regulatory body—the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority—to ensure that all awarding bodies meet the high standards that students and parents expect.
