The Deputy Prime Minister

I completely agree with my hon. Friend that the Conservatives left a trail of devastation across education and youth services. [ Interruption. ] Given half the chance, judging by their moans, they would do it all over again. We are making different choices—working with young people to draw up a landmark new national youth strategy, investing £145 million this year to provide stability to the youth sector, rolling out youth future hubs to expand access opportunities and reduce crime, and extending access to mental health support to nearly 1 million more children this year.
