Alun Cairns

Sport is a devolved matter in Wales and is therefore the responsibility of the Welsh Government.

However, the Sport Wales’ Active Adult Survey 2014 found that 72% of adults in Wales had participated in sport and physical recreation within the previous four weeks of being surveyed.

Furthermore, their School Sport Survey 2015 found that 48% of children in Wales were participating in sports three or more times a week.
