Proceeding contribution from Lord Ouseley (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.

Education Bill

My Lords, I shall speak to Amendment 118. To an extent, I support what the noble Baroness, Lady Walmsley, has already said when introducing Amendment 120, in which two additional duties for Ofsted’s are mentioned. I will try not to go over the arguments in support of that. I am concerned that the Minister indicated that the framework is, among other things, to give a lighter touch to the work of Ofsted. That in itself worries me to the extent that a lighter touch has proved disastrous—perhaps I am wrong, as the Minister is nodding.
