The Bill focuses specifically on Dartmoor National Park and aims to enhance access while protecting agricultural, environmental, and recreational activities. It calls for an independent inquiry into the management of the moor and suggests creating a stronger mission to connect people with national parks, expanding volunteering, educating stakeholders, and developing services to protect the park from damage.

Mr. Foord argued against the Bill proposed by Mr. Mangnall, expressing his opposition to enhanced access, land ownership changes, and incentives for landowners. He highlighted that Dartmoor already has extensive public rights of way and that many landowners are not responsible stewards. He pointed out that companies like South West Water, which owns a significant portion of the moor, have been rewarded by the Government despite negative environmental impacts. Mr. Foord also criticised the government's approach to incentivising farmers through ELMS (Environmental Land Management Scheme), citing low uptake due to its complexity and bureaucracy. Furthermore, he questioned the fairness of providing incentives to wealthy landowners for public access.
