(2)Where, following inspections conducted under two or more inspection enactments by one person or two or more different persons, that person is (or those persons are) required to make a report under each of those enactments, nothing in any of those enactments is to be regarded as preventing him (or them) from—

(4)The Chief Inspector [F6for Wales]may arrange for a combined report to be published in any manner he considers appropriate, but this subsection does not limit any duty as to publication imposed by any of the inspection enactments.

“ the Chief Inspector for England ” means Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills; and
