Thank you. Diolch. Do you support the policy intention of the Bill, which is to ensure a course of residential outdoor education is provided once and free of charge as part of the curriculum to registered pupils at maintained schools? Yes, Ioan.

Brilliant. Diolch, Rhun. Just finally from me: as schools have a duty to provide equal access to the curriculum for all pupils, do you think there could be any unintended consequences of including a course of residential outdoor education in the curriculum?
