To ask the Scottish Executive how many qualified physical education teachers will be in post in primary schools in each of the next three years.
Answer
Precise projections are not available. However we would expect numbers to increase in this period, as we move towards meeting the recommendations arising from the PE Review. Both through increases in secondary initial teacher education courses in PE, and through specific additional training for existing primary teachers.

To ask the Scottish Executive what its definition is of "physically active".
Answer
In their 2003 strategy for physical activity, the Physical Activity Task Force defined physical activity as “a broad term to describe movement of the body that uses energy”, which can refer to any activity involving movement including walking, housework, manual labour and so on. This strategy was fully accepted by ministers, and has provided the basis for work in this area since then.
