Labour — Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 June 2025

Debate

Post-industrial Towns

Contribution

My community in East Cleveland was once home to the ironstone mines and the steelworks that helped build this great country, but I often speak to steelworkers who say that when they left school they had a guaranteed job for life and this is not the case any more. Does my hon. Friend agree that there is a role for our combined authorities to play not just in creating jobs but in having a skills strategy that guarantees decent, well-paid jobs for our young people years into the future?
