That is an excellent idea. I am delighted that we managed, after three or four debates in the House, to establish the principle that the Youth Parliament should be able to sit and hold a debate in this Chamber, despite opposition from some Opposition Members.

We will also launch a programme shortly to allow young people to shadow Ministers and councillors in their areas and give them an understanding of what exactly is entailed in their work.
