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
