Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on SATs Testing.


SATs Testing

The Secretary of State has said that he regrets the situation, and he has accepted the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Rayleigh (Mr. Francois) that, as Secretary of State, he is in overall charge of education policy and of this testing. Yet, before the Select Committee and today in the House of Commons, as the person at the top with whom the buck stops, he has signally failed to take the opportunity to apologise. Will he do so now to all the parents, children and schools that have been so badly let down?
