Proceeding contribution from Alan Duncan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Use of the Chamber (Youth Parliament).


Use of the Chamber (Youth Parliament)

It need not be broadcast live; I believe that it was not on the last occasion. There are other issues, such as access and the use of any Galleries. My personal view is that only the secure Gallery should be used; parents may want to watch their children perform in the debate. There is the question of whether the Division Lobbies should be used. Frankly, if the proposal goes ahead, it would be illogical not to allow the young people to learn how to vote.
