PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
TEACHING OF CREATIONISM IN SCHOOLS (27 November 2006)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the Government's statement that `Neither intelligent design nor creationism are recognised scientific theories and are not included in the science curriculum'; is very concerned by the claim that the teaching pack circulated to schools by the creationist group Truth in Science is being used in science lessons in 59 schools; and calls on the Government to investigate how widespread the use of this pack is with a view to restricting it to use in religious education lessons.
