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

The Youth Select Committee is an initiative by the British Youth Council to
