Transport and Young People

The Youth Select Committee

Introduction from Mr Speaker:

I am delighted to introduce the first Youth Select Committee Report on

Transport and Young People produced by the British Youth Council with

support from the House of Commons.

I believe that it is extremely important for young

people to have the opportunity to participate

directly in the consideration of issues that affect

them. As Speaker I met with the young people

involved in running the Committee and I was most

impressed with their dedication to ensuring a fair

and full examination of transport and young

people.

I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of this

report and recommendations.

Mr Speaker, Rt Hon John Bercow MP
