Mr. Speaker, half of all children get only three hours of exercise a week. Childhood obesity rates are rising and putting undue pressure on our health and education systems.
When we asked the Minister of State for Sport whether he was worried about the situation, the only thing he could think to say was, and I quote, “Keeping our kids active and involved in sports leads to healthier, happier lifestyles”. Honestly.
Is the Minister of State for Sport aware of the extent of the problem and can he tell us exactly what he plans to do to help our children be more active?
