'A cross-party group of MPs is calling on the Government to make advice on sexual health and relationships mandatory in all schools.
The appeal, made in a letter to The Daily Telegraph, comes as ministers draw up plans to extend the scope of sex education provided in schools.
Despite repeated campaigns and promises from ministers, Britain's teenage pregnancy rates remain among the highest in the developed world.
Figures also suggest that sexually transmitted diseases are becoming more prevalent among children.
The MPs, led by Chris Bryant, a parliamentary aide to Harriet Harman, the Labour deputy leader, say the answer is to give children more information about sex, contraception and relationships.
Under existing rules, all children must be taught the basic biological facts of human reproduction, which are sometimes taught in science classes. There is no obligation for children to receive dedicated teaching about the social and emotional aspects of sexual behaviour. '
