Labour — Portsmouth North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Coastal Communities (Health) Bill

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for mentioning young people. This Government have changed the rules for parents on universal credit; previously, if their child went to college, they would still get universal credit payments. This Government have extended that to young people taking up apprenticeships. Does my hon. Friend agree that is a really helpful way to encourage growth and provide opportunities in deprived areas?
