question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what proportion of children in (a) Copeland constituency and (b) Cumbria participated in at least one hour of sport per week in each of the last five years.
tabling member constituency	Copeland
tabling member printed	Mr Jamie Reed
uin	7020
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2015 answer text <p>Government does not hold the information requested. The Taking Part Survey, which measures child participation in sport, does not publish local level or weekly data. Government is committed to ensuring that everyone - including children - has the opportunity to regularly participate in sport. Sport England actively supports this aim, with over £1 billion of investment in the youth and community strategy over 5 years. Further, the School Games programme, which provides opportunities for competitive sport in schools has been a great success, with more than 19,000 schools now signed up. The Games aim to give every schoolchild, no matter their ability or disability, their chance to participate and offers inter-school, county festivals and national finals competition. We are also investing over £450 million of ring fenced funding for the PE and Sport Primary premium for all primary schools for the three academic years from 2013 to 2016 - which enables them to provide high quality PE. Interim findings of independent research of the Primary PE and sport premium show that it is having a positive impact on PE and school sport. Since the funding was introduced, time spent on curricular PE at primary level has increased by 13 minutes from 109 to 122 minutes.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 21/07/2015 16:52:46 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
