Labour — East Worthing and Shoreham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 June 2026

Debate

Education and Engagement Outreach Team

Contribution

The parliamentary education outreach service plays a vital role in delivering in-person democratic engagement workshops in schools across the country, especially those that are disadvantaged and harder to reach, by engaging them in the work of our political system. Does my hon. Friend agree that the closure of the in-person service risks making Parliament more removed from young people across the country?
