Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 March 2025

Debate

“Break Down Barriers to Opportunity” Mission

Contribution

This Labour Government are determined to break the link between background and success, so that where someone is from does not determine where they end up in life. That work starts with the early years, which is when we can make the biggest difference to children’s life chances. Through our plan for change, we will get tens of thousands more children—a record share—starting school ready to learn, because children growing up in our country deserve the best start in life, and nothing less.
