Motion Text

That this House notes that, despite attempts by successive governments, the number of teenage pregnancies across the UK remains dramatically higher than in any other country in Europe; further notes that the number of sexually transmitted infections amongst young people continues to grow; believes that high quality sex and relationship education is vital in empowering young people to make responsible choices; and calls on the Government to make provision for such sex and relationship education for all children in all schools.
