To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what targets are being included in the National Plan for Physical Activity.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the role of public playgrounds in helping to reduce levels of (a) childhood obesity and (b) physical inactivity.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the role of public playgrounds in helping to reduce levels of (a) childhood obesity and (b) physical inactivity.
The Government recognises that children’s play supports health, wellbeing, learning and social development, and can strengthen community cohesion by bringing children, families and residents together in shared local spaces. This is why the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is investing £18 million through the Playground Fund to support 66 local authorities in England to create, improve or enhance up to 200 playgrounds in areas of greatest need. The fund targets places with higher levels of income deprivation affecting children and weaker existing playground provision, and supports high-quality, accessible and inclusive places to play.
Public playgrounds complement wider Government action to help children be healthier and more active by providing free, local opportunities for outdoor physical activity. The Department will monitor the Playground Fund to build evidence on best practice and interventions.

The Government is investing over £1 billion for Physical Education (PE) and school sports over three years, including £580 million for a new PE and School Sport Partnerships Network.

Detailed design and funding allocations will be confirmed through the procurement process for a National Delivery Partner in due course.

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the use of interactive AI technologies to support physical activity and wellbeing among children.
The department is continuously monitoring the implications of digital technology in schools, in particular recognising the balance required for preparing pupils for a rapidly evolving digital world, whilst not displacing the role of the teacher, or compromising a young person’s face-to-face socialisation with peers, practical learning, or physical activity.
We have committed over £1 billion in funding for PE and school sport over three years, including £580 million for a new PE and School Sport Partnerships Network alongside investment in facilities and transitional support for primary schools.
The network will provide practical, targeted support to increase participation, and will have scope to encourage innovative approaches, including the effective use of technology, where these can deliver meaningful improvements in children’s activity levels.
Provision will be informed by baseline and ongoing needs assessments led by a national delivery partner.
