Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (GP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2025

Debate

Schools: Citizenship Education

Contribution

My Lords, debate in your Lordships’ House in recent weeks has often focused on the issue of poor mental health, particularly among young people. In general, we know that it is good for your mental health to have agency and control over your own present and future. Would the Minister agree that bringing in votes at 16 or younger would be good for mental health and that education to accompany that would be excellent as well?
