Debate between Lord Kennedy of Southwark and Baroness Garden of Frognal

Wednesday 5th February 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Garden of Frognal (LD)]

My Lords—

[Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms and Chief Whip (Lord Kennedy of Southwark) (Lab Co-op)]

We will hear from the Lib Dem Benches next.

[Baroness Garden of Frognal (LD)]

My Lords, we warmly support lowering the voting age to 16. To follow on from the second part of the question from the noble Baroness, Lady D’Souza, can the Minister say how the recruitment of citizenship teachers is going, because in past years it was very difficult to recruit them?
