Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether he plans to ensure that the revised 2019 Ofsted inspection framework includes a requirement to evaluate the teaching and monitoring of spoken language; and if he will make a statement.

This is a matter for Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman. I have asked her to write to the hon. Member and a copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
