Volume 455: debated on Thursday 11 January 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what recent estimate he has made of the proportion of five to 16- year-olds who do (a) at least two and (b) at least four hours of sport each week. (113031)

The 2005-06 school sport survey found that overall, 80 per cent. of pupils in schools within a school sport partnership took part in at least two hours of high quality PE and school sport in a typical week—exceeding the 2006 PSA target of 75 per cent. Copies of the results of the survey have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses. The Department does not collect data on the proportion of five to 16-year-olds who take part in at least four hours of sport each week.
