HC Deb 01 February 1991 vol 184 c641W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will include contemporary political issues in the syllabus for 14 to 16-year-olds.

Mr. Eggar

There is nothing to stop schools dealing with contemporary political issues subject to their legal duty to avoid political indoctrination and ensure that any political issues raised are given a balanced treatment of opposing views.
