Youth Select Committee

Transport and Young People

The Youth Select Committee Introduction from Mr Speaker: I am delighted to introduce the first Youth Select Committee Report on Transport and Young People produced by the British Youth Council with support from the House of Commons.

I believe that it is extremely important for young people to have the opportunity to participate directly in the consideration of issues that affect them. As Speaker I met with the young people involved in running the Committee and I was most impressed with their dedication to ensuring a fair and full examination of transport and young people.

I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of this report and recommendations.

Mr Speaker, Rt Hon John Bercow MP
