Labour (Co-op) — Manchester Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 January 2025

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

It is a source of national shame that youth funding decreased by three quarters under the previous Government—one of the deepest cuts made to any public services. There was no real strategy for young people, and we are seeing the consequences of that. The Government are determined to turn that around, and we will work with my hon. Friend to do that in Stoke-on-Trent.
