The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking with the Secretary of State for Education to educate young people on the benefits of active lifestyles.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

The Government recognises the physical and mental health benefits that leading an active lifestyle can bring for all children and young people.

The Department for Education has recently launched an independent curriculum and assessment review that will advocate for a rich, broad, and inclusive curriculum that includes physical education, which the Department of Health and Social Care is also feeding into.
