Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2025

Debate

Supporting High Streets

Contribution

My hon. Friend is giving a powerful speech. Hospitality is fundamental to social mobility. I would have thought that Government Members would be ashamed of a policy that means that those furthest away from the labour market—young people—are put off from trying to get their first job. Hospitality is essential to enabling them to join the labour market, and the Government have put blocks in the way of people who want a better life.
