I was impressed with the coverage of Robin Alexander’s weighty and thorough Primary Review report on the curriculum last week, not least with front-page stories in the Independent and the Guardian. Particularly thoughtful, I thought was this leader, the following day, in the Guardian, which made the point that proper, independent inquiries operating without fear of coming up with findings which could embarrass the politicians are, surely, what good Government should be about. Alas, this is not the situation we have.
