Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords].


Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords]

Does the Foyer movement have a role to play in this, because, in a sense, it has worked as a bridge for young people who may not have been in care but who obviously find themselves in difficult circumstances? The movement has worked closely on an individual level with those young people, and its successes are often there for us to see when young people go on to university. Will that be enhanced by the Bill?
