- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many children under 16 years of age are part of a sport or exercise club in (a) Ribble Valley constituency, (b) Lancashire and (c) the UK.
- Answer
-
The Government do not hold the data requested at constituency, county or national level. However, the Taking Part survey collects data on children taking part in competitive sport and, within that, club membership.
In the last survey data published in August 2013, 78.6% of pupils in England had played competitive sport in school in the last 12 months. Of those aged 11 to 15, 31% had been a member of a club that plays sport in school. Outside school hours, 37.1% of children had played competitive sport in the last 12 months. Of that figure, 26.5% of five to 15-year-olds had been a member of a club that plays sport.
