Next week, MPs will debate the ‘Economic Value of Outdoor Recreation’ from 2.30-4.00pm on Wednesday 28th October. To ensure the importance of outdoor recreation including hill walking, climbing and mountaineering are fully recognised in future legislation and policy, the BMC is asking our members to email or write to their local MP asking them to attend.

The timing is important as the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has just concluded its consultation on A New Strategy for Sport and the Government’s Spending Review is currently underway. This is a real opportunity for your MP to champion the economic and wider benefits of outdoor recreation.

The BMC is delighted that this debate has been secured. We want to see tangible measures to increase, improve, maximise and strengthen policies on outdoor recreation. A more detailed briefing paper can be downloaded from the BMC website.
