Mr. Win Griffiths
Education Bill
Mr Graham Brady (Altrincham and Sale West, Conservative)
I shall briefly conclude my remarks on amendment No. 66. As I said, I was not able to refresh my memory from the printed record about the intervention that came immediately before we suspended. However, my memory is almost equal to that of the elephant that we discussed at length. The hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough had egged me on by saying that the amendment that I was minded not to press, after a very helpful reassurance from the Minister, was more important than I had realised. He raised important points about the value and the centrality, of school inspections and the reporting procedure. However, I was reassured by the Minister's earlier remarks that proper arrangements
would be in place for inspection and reporting of performance data. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
