That this House notes the widespread distress and confusion caused to this year's 'A' level candidates by the arbitrary and unfair marks given to some of their work; expresses its sympathy to the pupils, parents, and teachers involved; notes that the Government's interference with the exam system has led to this year's chaos and confusion; asks Ministers to publish full information about all the Department for Education and Skills' contacts with exam bodies over the relevant period; and further asks Ministers to take their proper responsibility for the damage done to young people and the exam system.
