To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what progress her Department has made on setting out further details of the Government’s strategy on physical activity, as referenced in the NHS 10 Year Health Plan published in July 2025.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The Government is developing a cross-government National Plan for Physical Activity, fulfilling the recommendation of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee and referenced in the NHS 10-Year Health Plan.

Working jointly with the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education, this Plan will tackle physical inactivity by embedding sport into local communities. It will align major cross-departmental investments to maximize impact, including DCMS facilities funding, Sport England reform, and Active Travel funding.
