SOUTH Lakes MP Tim Farron is “appalled” at the government's treatment of outdoor educations centres after the Budget failed to include any specific financial support.

Mr said: “Representing a constituency that is so dependent on the outdoors and what it does for our economy, and indeed for our mental health, I am appalled the Government have failed to follow the lead of Northern Ireland and Scotland and provide any support whatsoever for our outdoor education sector, despite the fact that the Prime Minister promised me last week that he would do so.”
