HC Deb 30 March 1984 vol 57 cc301-2W
Mr. Robert Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many video films are available from his Department to schools to further advice on the effects of alcohol and sensible drinking.

Mr. Dunn

None, but the Health Education Council, in collaboration with the Teachers Advisory Council for of the education system, not least among employers, have necessarily required growth in the number of teachers, lecturers and support staff employed. There is a balance to be struck between the need to restrain public expenditure and the Government's objectives for education, a balance which helps achieve a better educated nation, sustained economic growth, a more efficient public sector and a well-trained and motivated people.

alcohol and drug education, has just published a package of alcohol education material for schools which includes a number of films.
