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.
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.
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.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many hours per week of purposeful activity were undertaken by offenders in (a) each prison establishment in England and Wales and (b) each category of prison in each of the last three years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many hours per week of purposeful activity were undertaken by offenders in (a) each prison establishment in England and Wales and (b) each category of prison in each of the last three years.
Work in prisons is a key priority to ensure prisoners are engaged purposefully while they are in custody. It also gives them the opportunity to learn skills and a work ethic which can increase their chances of finding employment on release, a key element to reducing reoffending.
Our reforms to the Incentives and Earned Privileges national policy framework came into effect in adult prisons on 1 November 2013. Prisoners will be expected to engage in purposeful activity, as well as demonstrate a commitment towards their rehabilitation, reduce their risk of reoffending, behave well and help others if they are to earn privileges.
The number of prisoners working in industrial activity in public sector prisons increased from around 8,600 in 2010-11 to around 9,700 in 2012-13. This delivered an increase in the total hours worked in industrial activities from 10.6 million hours to 13.1 million hours.
In addition there are substantial numbers of prisoners who work to keep prisons running on tasks such as cooking, serving meals, maintenance and cleaning.
Information on purposeful activity in each prison and category of prison was published annually in the Prison Performance Digest up until 2011-12 and can be found at the following location:

Please note that figures are not available after 2011-12. Purposeful activity was formerly a performance indicator for prisons, but was discontinued at the start of 2012-13. The indicator was not used in the day-to-day management of prisons and NOMS had concerns over the burden on the front line of collecting the information. Indicators introduced into prison SLAs in respect of rehabilitation, resettlement and work in prisons provide a better demonstration of efforts to prepare prisoners for release and reduce reoffending.
Figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
Figures are published in the NOMS Annual Report Management Information Addendum:

My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness for bringing this subject before us. My point, as the token man in the debate, is that although there is conclusive evidence that body image is a problem that may bite harder on women, it still bites men—and for virtually the same reasons.
