That this House takes note that the text of the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames Guidance Note for Schools, Sex Education Policy and Guidelines, January 1997, which is 27 pages long and contains well over 8,000 words, has relatively long descriptions of many other aspects of sex education but makes no mention whatever of marriage as an ideal or of the emotion of love within marriage, the only two references to marriage being marriage as 'a ritual' and that 'celibate' "technically means unmarried"; and regrets that any local education authority should make no attempt to imbue pupils in local schools with the ideal of marriage.

That this House believes that the committee stage of any public bill of a constitutional nature should be taken on the Floor of the House, thereby reflecting established precedent as set out in the First Report from the Select Committee on Procedure of Session 1945-46 (HC9-1) and as has always been the practice.

That this House is concerned that Londoners face a 14.4 per cent. increase in the share of council tax which goes to meet policing costs in the capital; is horrified that the Home Secretary has described this as 'a modest increase', particularly at a time when the overall number of police officers has fallen by 649, of whom 599 were police constables; recalls that the Prime Minister made a pledge to provide resources to increase police numbers nationally by 5000; demands to know where London's share of those extra resources has been spent; is concerned at the transfer of the burden of the cost of policing from central government to council taxpayers; wishes to know why Londoners are being asked to pay more for fewer police officers whilst experiencing the worst crime clear-up rate in the country; and calls upon the Home Secretary, in his capacity as the Police Authority for London, to arrange for a debate on policing in London at the earliest opportunity before the Dissolution.
