Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on 21st Century Schools.


21st Century Schools

Of course Ofsted is independent of my Department and reports directly to Parliament, so it is not really for me to provide that scrutiny; it is for Parliament to do so. However, I agree with my hon. Friend: of course inspectors must have the highest standards of integrity and training. That is a matter for the director general of Ofsted, and I am sure that she is absolutely committed to ensuring that, because it is vital to our school accountability.
