Liberal Democrat — Torbay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 October 2026

Debate

Employment Support: Young People

Contribution

The Government recently announced funding for apprenticeships through areas where there are elected mayors. However, almost half of England does not have an elected mayor. Will the Secretary of State acknowledge that young people in communities such as Torbay, and across Devon and Cornwall, will feel that the Government have turned their backs on them?
