To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health on the adequacy of provision of sport in (a) Gower constituency and (b) Wales to tackle mental health issues in primary school-aged children.

The UK Government is keen to encourage any schemes which will increase the participation rates of children in sport and which may also help to tackle mental health issues. However, both of these matters are devolved and therefore the responsibility of the Welsh Government.
