Labour — Hartlepool

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 November 2025

Debate

Care Leavers

Contribution

My hon. Friend has outlined the vast range of steps that the Government have taken in short order to fix a very broken care system, but these things take time, and local authorities are under unimaginable pressure—they are at breaking point in many cases. What can he do in the short term to ensure that local authorities can continue to provide care for looked-after children and do not reach breaking point?
