That this House is deeply concerned that over 5,000 children are being treated on the NHS for serious eating disorders; believes this problem is growing; calls upon the Government to bring forward proposals to regulate the diet industry; and believes the fashion industry and leading image makers should be called upon to act in a responsible way by using young models more representative of the population, instead of unhealthily thin young people who are increasingly seen as role models by vulnerable children.

That this House totally rejects the Secretary of State for Education's claim that Calderdale Local Education Authority 'is failing to provide adequate support for its schools'; believes her cynical use of the OFSTED report is at complete odds with the conclusions in the report; condemns the way the Secretary of State slashed the timetable and manipulated the procedures for the political expediency; notes that Calderdale has only one failed school, as do 67 other local education authorities and that Norfolk has seven; further notes that Calderdale spends more money per pupils and has better GCSE results than most authorities in Yorkshire; deplores the part played in this piece of political chicanery by the Chief Inspector Chris Woodhead; believes he and this report have discredited OFSTED; and calls for his immediate resignation since such politically biased criticism without any evidence damages Calderdale, its children and the future prosperity of the area.
