Labour — Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 December 2025

Debate

EU Youth Experience Scheme

Contribution

As I said, one of the tragedies of the deal the last Government did was that it excluded opportunities for cultural exchange, particularly for young people. We are going to change that—it is part of the negotiations. I will ask my colleague the Minister for the Cabinet Office to come back to the hon. Lady on her specific point on the cultural bit, but in general, our aim is to get as close as we can to that agreement as quickly as we can.
