and
Now that the Reports of the Assessment Office
the Monitoring Team have been published, may I congratulate you on a job outstandingly well done. If I may say so, your Report was a model of concise and lucid comment.
I know that Parliament will attach a great deal of
importance to your seal of approval on the work of the
Assessment Office. I am most grateful to you for taking
on this task at such short notice.
As you said in your Report, the Assessment Office was a body without precedent. I acknowledge your points about imperfections in the arrangements. But I was very glad to
see that you did not believe there was any evidence to show
that these had had a damaging effect on the assessment task
as a whole.
Many thanks once again. Please pass on my gratitude
to all those who assisted you in the Monitoring Team.
