Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 May 2026

Debate

Youth Justice

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right, and he knows from his long experience that the role local government plays, alongside mental health services and education, is vital, and we must do much better to join this up. Whenever something goes badly wrong, it is usually because services have not been sufficiently joined up. That is why the new intensive supervision course in this area can make a real difference for young people.
