Baroness Barran
The Government have certainly tried to take the learning from this campaign and apply it as widely as possible.
Baroness Blackstone (Ind Lab)
My Lords, why should girls not continue to be active at a later age? Why is there a cut-off point of 60?
Baroness Barran
That is a very good question which might apply to a number of us in this House. Sport England is working with women over 61 and, as I mentioned earlier, the biggest increase in participation has been in that older age group.
