Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 September 2026

Debate

Young People in Scotland: Employment Opportunities

Contribution

My Lords, I welcome the Minister to his place. To some extent he has touched on this in his previous answer, but does he agree that the Scottish First Minister would be better placed dealing with practical priorities such as co-operating with the UK Government on issues such as youth unemployment, rather than engaging in performative pantomime politics such as meeting the leaders of Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin today?
