Teaching Of Creationism In Schools

EDM number 301 in 2006-07, proposed by Graham Stringer on 27/11/2006.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
