HC Deb 02 December 1986 vol 106 c560W
45. Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make it his policy not to approve distribution of the Health Education Council's amended resources list called "Relationships and Sexuality"; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend will be considering carefully the revised resource list on "Relationships and Sexuality", recently submitted to this Department by the Health Education Council, both against the originally agreed criteria for its revision and also in the light of the new legislative provisions for sex education in schools. This consideration will necessarily take a little time and I cannot at this stage anticipate the conclusions he will reach.
