Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2025

Debate

Education Provision: South Buckinghamshire

Contribution

I commend the hon. Lady on bringing forward this debate. Does she not agree that by putting secondary schools out of reach of local populations, we close the door to character-building, to skill-learning and to socially imperative after-school programmes? That must all be weighed when considering educational provision, because if you close a school, you lose a generation of young people.
