Business of the House

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Skills has published the Green Paper, which contains great detail on the importance of providing services and facilities for young people. They are often criticised by older people for hanging around on street corners and behaving inappropriately. I am sure that my hon. Friend is, by implication, making the point that the Government have a responsibility to deal with antisocial behaviour and to ensure that young people have opportunities to participate in activities. The Green Paper is a way of promoting such activities.
