Conservative MPs have accused some schools of effectively encouraging teenagers to become sexually active, claims which have been heavily contested. Last week Mr Sunak ordered a review into the allegations. Speaking on his trip to California for a summit with the leaders of the US and Australia, he said: “I was concerned by the reports that I’ve seen, and that’s why it’s important that we review this and get it right.
“These materials are obviously sensitive. I speak as a parent, first and foremost, rather than politician. And it’s important that that is age appropriate. And it’s important that parents know what’s going on and have access to those materials. If that’s not happening, then we need to make sure that it is and that’s why it’s right that we do a proper review of the situation.”
