Context
The UK government is revising guidelines for schools as the country emerges from coronavirus lockdown. Councils faced budget cuts before the crisis, reducing funding available for physical education.
Question
What steps are being taken by the Government to prioritise access to exercise in schools during the easing of Covid-19 restrictions? Given that councils had their sports budgets cut by £42 million prior to the crisis, will the Secretary of State commit to increasing funding support to ensure children remain physically active at school?
Answer from The Secretary of State for Education (Gavin Williamson)
A Conservative Government introduced the sports premium and is ensuring £320 million goes to schools for activities. Returning to school supports both learning and physical health, with great sports opportunities available across the country.
