PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CHIEF INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS (28 April 1998)

Motion Details

That this House notes with gret concern the comments of the Chief Inspector of Schools who in a speech to the right wing think-tank Politeia claimed there was no evidence that schools are underfunded and further claimed that teachers were wasting too much time in meaningless activities; believes that local education authorities require significantly increased levels of capital and revenue resources to address the funding crises in United Kingdom schools; and further believes that the Government should censure the Chief Inspector of Schools and ask him to consider his position.
