Ofsted deleting Baby P e-mails?

Mr Justice Foskett has demanded an explanation from Ofsted over suggestions that its inspectors deleted e-mails relating to the Baby P case, presumably to protect their position. A handwritten note in papers disclosed to the court by Ofsted indicated that this was suggested at a meeting on 18 November 2008. If true, this would raise serious questions about the individuals concerned and the integrity of the organisation. I hope for their sake that they do not have anything to hide.
