"This should be a statutory requirement."

Health Minister Caroline Flint said the Government would be examining the report.

She added: "We are continually looking at new ways of working to ensure a joined-up approach that places the individuals, in this case young people, at the heart of the work we are doing."

Simon Blake, chief executive of Brook, the sexual health charity for young people, said: "Many people still find it very difficult to talk openly about sex and relationships, and often rely on alcohol to help them deal with emotional issues.

"As a result, many young people learn to view alcohol or other drugs as an essential part of the relationship mix.

"Many say they had sex for the first time because they were drunk, and research carried out by Brook in Blackburn found that 67% of young people said they were more likely to have unprotected sex when they were drunk.

"Overcoming our cultural reticence about sex and relationships is a big challenge for this society.

"We need to be open with young people and help them develop communication and negotiation skills to build healthy relationships where they don't need to use alcohol to be intimate."
