That this House recognises that out-of-classroom education is key to a child's current and future understanding of the environment; notes with concern that there are real and practical barriers to out-of-classroom activity which hinder schools and teachers in undertaking education away from the safety of the classroom; further notes that these include the cost to school and pupil, teachers' workload, health and safety concerns and the real fear of litigation against schools in the event of an accident; regrets that these barriers have led to a reduction, which still continues, in school trips to nature reserves, countryside parks and museums; therefore welcomes the creation of the Real World Learning campaign, a partnership of a number of charities and commercial providers including RSPB, Field Studies Council, National Trust, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and 3D Education and Adventure, all of which use their facilities to educate schoolchildren and adults about wildlife, the countryside and the environment, and urges the Government to support the aims of the campaign by making out-of-classroom learning an integral part of every child's education.

That this House deeply regrets the 17 year long war in northern Uganda, which is estimated to have claimed some 300,000 lives, caused the abduction of 20,000 children and driven over two million men, women and children into Internally Displaced Person's camps; notes the comments of United Nations Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, Jan Egeland who said that it was a moral outrage that the world was doing so little for the victims of the war, especially children, and that he could not think of any other part of the world that was having an emergency on the scale of Uganda, that was getting such little attention; and calls on the Government, as a major donor to Uganda, to continue to encourage all sides to arrive at a peaceful resolution of the conflict in order to end the unspeakable suffering by the civilian population.

That this House notes the admission of Lieutenant Colonel Barry Johnson, a spokesman at the American detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, that three boys aged between 13 and 15 years are among the 660 inmates being held at the camp; further notes that in doing so the United States is violating the United Nations convention on the Rights of the Child which states that 'every child deprived of his or her liberty shall have the right to prompt access to legal and other appropriate assistance'; recognises that although the US is one of only two countries in the United Nations not to have ratified the Convention it is a signatory and as such has an obligation to uphold the Convention; and urges the Government to do all in its power to ensure that the US fulfils this obligation.
