Ministerial corrections

Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what proportion of lessons in each school year were set in the latest period for which figures are available. [202073] [Official Report, 29 April 2008, Vol. 475, c. 420W.] Letter from Jim Knight: An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove) on 29 April 2008. Within the table displaying the percentage of lessons set as observed by Ofsted in 2002/03, the percentage figure for key stage 3 should have read as 37, not 36. I would like to apologise for this error. The correct answer is as follows: Jim Knight: Ofsted collects data on the use of streaming and setting in lessons observed during inspections, the latest period for which their data indicate the proportion of lessons in each school year which are set by ability is 2002/03 [Table included] Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what proportion of lessons in each school year were set in the latest period for which figures are available.
