biggest jobs for the Government Printer at the time. It was noted that postal staff complained of the weight when carrying out another unusual task: distributing copies of the report to every household in the country. Conclusions and recommendations The report came up with 27 conclusions and about 20 recommendations. Conclusions Among the conclusions, in summary: 1 to 4 and 26 dealt with sexual immorality, noting that "immorality has been [organised]", and the unfairness that the authorities could charge boys for indecent conduct, but not girls. 5 to 9 urged a tightening of censorship-laws. 10 urged a "closer bond between school and home". 11 discounted the contribution that co-educational schools had made to "sexual delinquency". 12 urged tighter administration of a school leaving-age of 15. 13 recommended notifying school principals of students under government care. 14 and 21: "The school is not the proper place for fully instructing children about sex." However, the report characterised schools as good places to "listen to addresses or see appropriate films". It also claimed (21) that police found in many incidents that many youths were either "too ignorant" about sex, or knew too much about it. 15 appears to attack the previous Labour government's state-housing scheme, recording the belief that "the new housing developments" contained large numbers of young children without the good modelling of older people and organisations. Similarly, 16 says that despite community-groups doing their best, "facilities for recreation and entertainment will not cure juvenile delinquency". 17 placed some blame on parents' allowing consumption of alcohol at "young people's parties" (without specifying the age of the said young people). 18 and 19 noted the opinion that parental neglect left children feeling unloved, something the Committee believed conducive to delinquent acts. 20 appears to blame high wages of the time for discouraging the careful use of money (and thus, the Committee concluded, discouraging self-reliance). 22 and 23 addressed the state of religion and of family life: the "present state of morals in the community has indicated the value of a religious faith" and stated that a decline in family life resulted from a lack of respect for the "worth" of religious and social boundaries. 24 blamed "new concepts" coming about due to the destabilising effects of world wars, contraceptives, divorce liberalisation and increasing popularity of sexual relations before marriage. 25 conveyed the unanimous recommendation that minors should not have access to contraceptives. 27
