Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 June 2025

Debate

Disadvantaged Communities

Contribution

I am happy to endorse what my hon. Friend says, and I hope the Minister will do the same. There is no doubt that the environment in which a child is raised has an impact on the opportunities available to them and where they choose to go in life. Housing infrastructure is a huge problem. To conclude, in a world where millions of people live in poverty, we have the means in Westminster, and therefore across all the regions, to support our people. It is important that we do that and that we also support the agencies that already do it.
