Duo take part in national youth debate
Two Carmarthenshire Youth Council members have returned from the House of Commons after attending a national youth debate.
Ryan Davies and Shannon Davies were asked to take part in the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) House of Commons Debate on November 4, which gave them the opportunity to speak about issues that affect young people in Wales.
Five key topics, which were formed from a national ballot involving 65,532 young people, were discussed by over 300 other young individuals at the debate.
These topics were:
• Public transport: it should be cheaper, better and more accessible
• Tuition fees: yes to graduate tax
• Bullying: a zero tolerance approach
• Child poverty: let’s bring it to an end!
• Our future: a greener future for the United Kingdom
The discussions which took place at the House of Commons will determine the UK Youth Parliament’s top priorities for next year.
Shannon Davies, Secretary for Carmarthenshire Youth Council said “This was a very exciting time for us both; having the opportunity to meet young people from different parts of the UK and from different backgrounds was a great experience.”
