HC Deb 01 April 1971 vol 814 c419W
36. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will issue a circular recommending, and also seek powers to ensure, that parents may withdraw their children from sex education films and courses.

Mrs. Thatcher

I appreciate the concern behind this Question and, while I do not think that legislation is the answer, I am considering whether guidance to local education authorities might be appropriate.
