When I knock on doors, one thing is said to me repeatedly: Kettering does not get its fair share. I do not have to tell my constituents that the Tories underfunded our local government. The parent taking their child to our rundown swimming pool sees it, the family waiting for a council house sees it, the child waiting for a space at a special school sees it, anyone who drives a car on our...

Young people have lost so much. The pandemic kept them in their homes when they should have been in the classroom, years of austerity under the Tories saw cuts in the services on which they rely, and a bad Brexit deal stopped the invaluable chance to study abroad in Europe.

Can the Secretary of State explain how this strategy will mean that young adults who break the cycle of poverty are the norm, not the exception?

Will my hon. Friend give way?
-
I will take that. The Bedford College Group has campuses in both of our constituencies. Does my hon. Friend agree that that is crucial in delivering the high-quality technical skills needed to deliver the growth corridor?

Cop30 25 Nov 2025
For a long time there has been a consensus on the need to take action against climate change in this House, so it is disappointing and saddening to see the Secretary of State, Members on the Government Benches and the Lib Dems having to come to this House to defend a position that used to be shared.
