Relationship, Sex and Health Education

Debate between Baroness Hazarika and Lord Kennedy of Southwark

Tuesday 4th March 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Fox of Buckley (Non-Afl)]

My Lords—

[Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark) (Lab Co-op)]

We will hear first from my noble friend and then from the noble Baroness, Lady Fox.

[Baroness Hazarika (Lab)]

My Lords, as we have heard, we know that pornography is poisoning the minds of our young women and men. It is so important to teach men and women at a young age what healthy relationships look like, as they are often not seen at home. They are seeing the most violent, misogynistic and dangerous images. We know this hurts women, but it also hurts men who are drawn to people such as Andrew Tate. Will the Minister give us an assurance that the Government will make this education a priority?
