Mr Chris Woodhead

EDM number 857 in 1995-96, proposed by Roy Hattersley on 08/05/1996.

That this House believes that Mr Chris Woodhead, the Chief Inspector of Schools in England, has failed in his public duty insofar as he has abandoned the objectivity expected of a public official, has abused his position to engage in party political controversy in education policy and has unfairly attacked teachers and comprehensive education; and calls for his immediate resignation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 66 MPs.
