§ Mr. PendryTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the sporting activities and aspects of physical education which will make up his Department's proposed flexible definition of physical education at key stage 4 in the national curriculum.
§ Mr. EggarMy right hon. and learned Friend expects to publish his statutory proposals for physical education in the national curriculum later this year. Meanwhile he intends to offer guidance on the question raised by the hon. Member in his reply to the letter from the chairman of the national curriculum physical education working group.
