HC Deb 06 July 1994 vol 246 c248W
21. Lady Olga Maitland

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he is taking to monitor drug education in schools.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Her Majesty's inspectors of schools include drugs education within their normal programmes of school inspection. They also hold regular discussions with education authorities about health education, including drugs education, policies. Responsibility for the content of the school curriculum rests with education authorities and individual head teachers.
