§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards education on the dangers of smoking for children in primary and secondary schools.
§ Mr. FallonThe statutory order for national curriculum science requires that primary school pupils should know that tobacoo is a harmful substance, and that its avoidance contributes to good health; and that secondary school pupils should consider its effects on the human body. The National Curriculum Council's guidance on health education advises that both primary and secondary school pupils should study topics relating to the dangers of smoking.
