HC Deb 17 December 1970 vol 808 c399W
54 and 55. Mr. Pounder

asked 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. Thatcher

No. I am sure it is best to rely on the good sense of teachers and local education authorities in these matters.
