Mr. Blizzard

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to ensure that pupils have the opportunity to take part in outdoor activities as part of the school curriculum. [84693]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Under my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State's proposals for a revised National Curriculum from 2000, on which we are currently consulting, outdoor and adventurous activities continue to be available for pupils aged 7–16 as one of six areas of activity in the physical education curriculum.
