MP proposes a new law (usually symbolic)

Caroline Voaden (Lib Dem, South Devon) is tabling a Ten Minute Rule Motion to highlight outdoor education as a policy priority. The motion seeks to draw attention to the value of outdoor learning and activity for young people's physical health, mental wellbeing, and educational outcomes, and to press the government for greater investment and support for outdoor education programmes in schools and communities.

Outdoor education affects children's health, attainment, and social development across the country. The motion reflects growing concern that young people spend too little time outdoors and that schools lack resources or confidence to deliver outdoor learning. A successful motion could influence government spending priorities and curriculum guidance, though Ten Minute Rule Motions are non-binding.
