Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the potential (a) merits and (b) risks of Ofsted inspections proceeding while schools are experiencing high covid-19 infection rates.
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.
