Labour — Dudley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 December 2025

Debate

Unemployment Levels

Contribution

I welcome the Government’s £820 million investment to help young people into work. In Dudley, one in five school leavers—the highest proportion in the country—are not in education, employment or training. Will the Minister guarantee that this funding prioritises areas with the greatest need, including Dudley? Will she commit to visiting my constituency?
