HC Deb 14 July 1966 vol 731 c245W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, in view of the increase in venereal disease, what steps he is taking to bring the consequences to the attention of senior classes in all schools.

Mr. Redhead

It is for local education authorities and the teachers to decide what shall be taught in schools. The Secretary of State issues advice on health education in schools, and the Department's handbook on Health Education is at present under review. A pamphlet on Health in Education, soon to be issued, will give some guidance on the subject of V.D.
