Monica Harding

Liberal Democrat — Esher and Walton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2025

Debate

UK-EU Common Understanding Negotiations

Contribution

My constituents will be delighted that the Government are returning the UK to Erasmus+. One of my constituents wrote to me this morning: “It is a win for those of us who think that international learning should be open to all, not just the children of the rich who can afford international fees.” But, she said: “It is too late for me. I was 11 when Brexit happened and I am now 21, and in my last year of university.” Will the Government undo the wrongs done to such kids by the last Conservative Government, and go further and faster by committing to a youth mobility scheme?
