Labour — Inverclyde and Renfrewshire West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2024

Debate

Scotland’s Economy

Contribution

I agree. I know from experience in my own constituency with James Watt college in Greenock—now part of West College Scotland—that there have been issues with investment in colleges. That largely impacts on opportunities for working-class young people, and for people who perhaps did not get the results that they wanted at school and need a second chance. The college sector always provided that for people, but at the moment it is struggling to do so in many places across Scotland.
