Ed Balls accused of sidestepping MPs on Ofqual decision

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8422039.stm

Quote:

Children's Secretary Ed Balls has been accused of sidestepping Parliament by naming a new education watchdog chief before MPs had a chance to quiz her.
Kathleen Tattersall was named chair and chief regulator of new exams watchdog Ofqual without being vetted by MPs

Why am I not surprised? :rolleyes:

Another example of this government's attitude of only obeying the rules when it suits them and totally ignoring them when it doesn't..:mad:
