CROSS-CUTTING QUESTION SESSION ON YOUTH POLICY

Early day motion 512, tabled 14 January 2003 by Hilton Dawson (Labour). Signed by 15 members.

That this House considers that the cross-cutting question session on youth policy on Thursday 23 January in Westminster Hall is one of the most important of the new modernisation measures because it gives all honourable Members an opportunity to address a crucial policy issue in an integrated manner and enables the House to focus on matters of particular importance to the coming democratic generation; urges all honourable Members to attend and participate in questioning ministers; and welcomes the initiative taken by the All Party Children Group to hold a meeting immediately following the question time at 3.45 in Committee Room 21, where honourable Members will have the opportunity to review both the process and content of this historic event in the well informed and challenging company of 14 members of the UK Youth Parliament.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Labour/Co-operative 3, Liberal Democrat 3.
