§ 54 and 55. Mr. Pounderasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if she will have compiled and circulated to local education authorities a list of recommended books of reference for the teaching of sex education in schools;
(2) if she will issue a circular to local education authorities advising against the use of a booklet entitled, Sex Education, published by the National Secular Society in the teaching of the subject in schools.
§ Mrs. ThatcherNo. I am sure it is best to rely on the good sense of teachers and local education authorities in these matters.
