2016 November 11

As Shadow Leader of the House it was a delight to welcome the Youth Parliament to the House of Commons for their 7th visit on Friday 11 November 2016. Young people aged 11-18 filled the Chamber and debated topics chosen through their Make your Mark ballot. Nearly one million young people had voted on topics to debate such as “Votes for 16 and 17 year olds” and “tackling racism and religious discrimination”.
