Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hughes of Stretford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]

Does the hon. Gentleman not accept that when I made my opening remarks, I said that Ministers would have preferred the report to have been in the public domain before this debate, but that that was not in our gift? I suggest that he talk to the hon. Member for Havant (Mr. Willetts), his party’s spokesperson on education, who will then inform him of what he was told this morning by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State about the efforts that we did in fact make to ensure that Ofsted published the report before now. Ofsted decided, however, not to do so.
