Labour — Luton South and South Bedfordshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 December 2025

Debate

Oxford to Cambridge Growth Corridor

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for making a brilliant point about the contribution that further education colleges make to the agenda for skills, apprenticeships and ultimately good jobs for our young people. The delivery of East West Rail, improving connectivity with Oxford and Cambridge as world-class education and innovation hubs, will be vital in providing more opportunities for young people in my constituency for study, apprenticeships and jobs that previously would have been out of reach.
