PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Period product scheme for schools and colleges (2 September 2024)

That this House welcomes the period product scheme for schools and colleges; notes that that current scheme was in April of this year extended until July 2025; further notes that a longer duration of support would provide schools and young women with the knowledge that this scheme won’t be removed during their school lives; recognises that the scheme only allows for tights to be purchased during winter and autumn terms and that young women who wear tights all year round aren’t able to benefit from this scheme in the summer term; calls upon the Department of Education to declare a longer term commitment to this scheme and to include the purchasing of tights all year round; and encourages Hon. Members to make their schools aware of the scheme.
