§ Miss Joan Lestorasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will consider publishing a leaflet for general use in schools covering such aspects of sex education as contraception, pregnancy and childbirth.
§ Dr. BoysonNo. It is for individual schools and teachers to decide what teaching material to use. We have also made it clear that there should be the closest possible consultation and co-operation between schools and parents about the way in which sex education is provided.
