Schools: Sports
Education
Menzies Campbell (North East Fife, Liberal Democrat)
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what information his Department collects on the participation of school children.
Edward Timpson (Crewe and Nantwich, Conservative)
In view of the other questions tabled at the same time by the right hon. and learned Member, I have assumed that this question relates to the numbers of children participating in physical education and sport in schools.
The Department no longer collects data on the participation of school children in physical education and sport. Data relating to sports participation is measured by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's Taking Part survey and Sport England's Active People survey.
