Listed in the government's response to a Commons committee report on physical activity in an ageing society. The response does not say when the spending starts or how the rest of the £1 billion beyond the partnerships network is split. The card moves when the PE and School Sport Partnerships Network is set up or the spending is reported.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). An editor, Pavel Guzhikov, then checks each card against its sources and approves it.
