Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Damian Hinds and Stephen Crabb

Monday 10th September 2018 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Crabb (Preseli Pembrokeshire) (Con)]

One of the most effective engines of social mobility in this country remains the Army. Does my right hon. Friend agree that, contrary to what some are saying today, our schools should remain open and welcoming places for members of our armed forces to come in and inform, inspire and give good career advice to young people, especially those from working-class backgrounds?

[Damian Hinds]

Yes, I do. Those partnerships are incredibly important and can provide very important role models.
