§ Mr. Madelasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what recent discussions he has had with the 156W Health Education Council about a book list published by the council jointly with the Schools Council and entitled "Relationships and Sexuality".
§ Dr. BoysonMy hon. Friend the Member for Hampstead (Mr. Finsberg), Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Security and I have seen the chairman and other members of the Health Education Council and asked them to review the purpose, balance and content of this book list. We were told that the council intends as soon as possible to undertake such a review. In doing so it will heed criticisms of lack of balance and comprehensiveness, and of the inclusion of unsuitable references, which have been made direct to it, as well as to Ministers.
