HC Deb 28 November 1968 vol 774 cc156-7W
38. Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information is given about venereal disease to students at colleges for which he is responsible and to senior pupils at school.

Mr. Denis Howell

Talks on venereal diseases are given in many schools and colleges. The detailed curriculum is a matter for local education authorities, governing bodies and teachers and is not under my control. Information on venereal diseases is given in the recently published Handbook of Health Education, which is issued for use mainly by teachers, and student teachers.
