Mr. Haselhurst
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many schools she estimates will be inspected by members of Her Majesty's Inspectorate in the current year.
Mrs. Shirley Williams
Her Majesty's Inspectors are undertaking programmed inspections in about 700 schools during the academic year ending 31st August 1978. In addition a much larger number of schools are being visited on a less formal basis, but it is impossible to estimate their number.
