Several hon. Members rose—
Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)
Order. It would be helpful if the remaining Members could keep their questions very short, so that I can get you all in.
Natasha Irons (Croydon East) (Lab)
Croydon’s youth engagement team is a council-run service that provides critical support for young people across Croydon, including keeping kids away from being groomed by gangs, supporting a youth assembly that gives kids a civic voice, and providing a youth hub in New Addington, in my constituency. Those services are now under threat because Croydon council deems them to be non-statutory and needs to make savings. Will the Leader of the House allow time for a debate about long-term funding settlements for youth services and how we can ensure they are given the statutory protections that they need?
