HC Deb 03 February 1994 vol 236 cc843-4W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what response he has made to the Nuffield report on genetic screening in relation to the aspects which affect his department.

Mr. Robin Squire

My right hon. Friend welcomes the initiatives of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in producing this report. He regards it as essential that through the combination of science, religious and health education pupils are equipped to tackle the ethical issues which they will encounter at the various stages of their lives, including those resulting from advances in genetic science.
