Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy to introduce a Daily Mile initiative for adults across the country.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s Sport Strategy will set out the Government's future ambitions to promote physical activity and sports. This may include opportunities such as Active Mile and other initiatives. The strategy will enable improvements in equity of access to and participation in sport and physical activity to improve health and reduce disparities. This will include workplace and active travel initiatives.

The Better Health social marketing campaign will continue to provide digital resources, including those linked to walking/running particular distances such as ‘Couch to 5K’ and ‘Active 10’ and signpost adults to local opportunities.
