The news that the Government has ejected BPAS from the new sexual health forum and replaced them with the charity LIFE is pleasing, as it was the right thing to do.
Journalists who have contacted me have asked the question ‘do you agree that this decision was taken quickly, as a result of the success of your 10 minute rule bill calling for abstinence to be included in sex education teaching’ and ‘do you think the Government have been caught off guard by the amount of public support for your bill’?
I have no idea, what I do know though is that it is a very good step in the right direction.
At the time of writing this, I will be going straight from filming with pregnant teenagers into the NewsNight studio to discuss this very subject.
