Participation in Sport
- Question
- What assessment he has made of his Department's progress in increasing the level of participation in sport since 1997.
- Answer
-
The number of adults regularly playing sport has increased since the figures were first collected in 2005 by more than 600,000 to just under 7 million. There has also been a dramatic turnaround in school sport. In 2003, only one in four children got at least two hours of quality physical education. Today, 90 per cent. do and more than half are doing at least three hours a week.
