Tony McNulty's wife appointd Chief Inspector of Schools

The BBC reports that Minister's wife takes over Ofsted

A government minister's wife has been appointed as the new chief inspector of schools in England.

Former head teacher Christine Gilbert is married to Home Office minister Tony McNulty. The Department for Education and Skills has denied "cronyism".

[...]

Is she really the only former headmaster or headmistress who could have been promoted to this job ? Did being married to a Blairite Minister like Tony McNulty really have no bearing on the appointment ?

What chance is there that anyone will believe yje independence of any of her inspection reports, into, say, the controversial Academy Schools, which are at the heart of the NuLabour "cash / loans / Government subsidies for peerages" scandals ?
