Parliament to Debate 'Summer of Sex'

Parliament to debate 'summer of sex' on November 26

South Derbyshire MP Samantha Niblett has been granted a date for the House of Commons debate following her campaign calling for lifelong sex education.

The backbench debate is due to take place in Parliament on Thursday, November 26, and will feature Niblett delivering a speech based on her seven-to-eight month journey into the issue.

Niblett has been campaigning for lifelong sex education since March, with support from sex educator Cindy Gallop and Lucy Litwack of Coco De Mer in London.

The debate is part of an effort to raise awareness about consent, respect, and healthy relationships, as well as preventing abuse and violence.

Niblett has faced a 'longer wait' for the debate due to her request to be held in the main chamber rather than a lower-profile venue like Westminster Hall.

South Derbyshire MP Samantha Niblett has launched a campaign calling for lifelong sex education, dubbed the 'summer of sex', to push education about consent, respect and healthy relationships.

Niblett applied in March for the debate, but said she faced a 'longer wait' due to her request to be held in the main chamber rather than a lower-profile venue like Westminster Hall.
