(3) The Chief Inspector must inform an inspector who has submitted a draft under subsection (1) whether he agrees or disagrees with the inspector's opinion. (4) Where— (a) the Chief Inspector informs the inspector that he disagrees with the inspector's opinion, but (b) the inspector remains of the opinion that special measures are required to be taken in relation to the school or that the school requires significant improvement, the inspector may not make a report stating that opinion unless the terms in which he makes the report are substantially the same (except as to the statement required by subsection (6)(b)) as the draft or as a subsequent draft submitted to the Chief Inspector under this subsection. (5) Where a subsequent draft is submitted under subsection (4), the Chief Inspector must inform the inspector whether he agrees or disagrees with the inspector's opinion.

(8) If a report of an inspection of a school by a registered inspector is made in circumstances where— (a) he is of the opinion that the school does not require significant improvement and that special measures are not required to be taken in relation to the school, but (b) in the latest report of an inspection of the school the person making the report stated that in his opinion the school did require significant improvement and either— (i) that person was a member of the Inspectorate, or (ii) the report stated that the Chief Inspector agreed with his opinion, the registered inspector must state his opinion in the report.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
