Mr Adnan Hussain

Independent — Blackburn

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 October 2025

Debate

Post-16 Education and Skills Strategy

Contribution

I welcome the statement. In Blackburn I have been working with our college and jobcentre to help young people access real opportunities, but in towns such as mine, which is among the most deprived in the country, it is not talent but investment that is lacking. What strategy will the Secretary of State employ to ensure that skills funding truly reaches places such as Blackburn, and will she meet me to discuss the serious shortage of ESOL spaces, which is causing many constituents to wait for up to a year, out of work?
