Business question from Julie Morgan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
When can we have a debate on lowering the voting age? Is my right hon. and learned Friend aware of my private Member's Bill, which aims to bring the voting age down to 16? Does she not agree that if we can engage young people at an earlier age, when they are still in schools and youth clubs, there is more likelihood that they will engage with politics—an engagement that will remain throughout their lives?
