§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
When the Department for Education and Skills intends to assess progress towards achieving its 2002 public service agreement on physical education and school sport. [HL3296]
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Education and Skills (Baroness Ashton of Upholland)On 29 April 2004 my department published the results from the first PE, School Sport and Club Links Survey. The annual survey is primarily designed to help us to measure progress towards the joint DfES/DCMS PE and School Sport PSA target—75 per cent of five to 16 year-olds spending two hours a week on high-quality PE and school sport—but it is also collecting important data on the type and range of provision that schools offer.
Copies of the first PESSCL survey questionnaire and the published results have already been placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
