Conservative — Herne Bay and Sandwich

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2026

Debate

Youth Unemployment

Contribution

In East Kent, there is a company called HatHats, which runs coffee bars. The proprietor philanthropically employs hard-to-employ young people. In the last 12 months for which figures are available, the profit on all 25 of its outlets was £12. As a direct result of this Government’s policies, those young people are losing out on the opportunities that the Minister is describing.
