A NORTH West MEP says he was "horrified" to read that Ofsted inspectors were asking primary school children "about lesbian sex and transsexuality".

Paul Nuttall, deputy leader of UKIP, says he believes young children should not be questions about sex in a bid to drive ‘British values’.

He said: "I was horrified to read that Ofsted inspectors actually quizzed 10-year-olds about lesbian sex and transsexuality. I find that absolutely appalling.

"Instilling so called 'British values' involving democracy, liberty and tolerance is vitally important but primary school children should be concentrating on learning the 3 Rs and not having details about lesbian sex and gender issues forced upon them.”
