HC Deb 29 November 1977 vol 940 c174W
48. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action is being taken to educate secondary school children about the need for preventive health measures, especially those concerned with pregnancy and child-birth; and if she will make a statement.

Miss Margaret Jackson

Earlier this month my right hon. Friend published "Health Education in Schools", a handbook of advice on various aspects of health education, including sex education. She is also considering the recommendations addressed to her in the Expenditure Committee's report on Preventive Medicine, and will reply as soon as possible.
