Lord Garel-Jones (Con)
Is the Minister aware that, since 2012, about 30 youth centres in London have closed? While this might not wholly explain the worrying rise in violence, it must have been a contributory factor. Will my noble friend tell the House whether the Government have any plans to substitute that loss?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
My noble friend will of course know that youth provision is a decision for local authorities and how they allocate funds.
