Representation of the People (Young People’s Enfranchisement and Education) Bill

Kwasi Kwarteng Excerpts

Friday 3rd November 2017 Commons Chamber

[Danielle Rowley]

On the accusation that young people are not ready, are not clever enough or do not have political knowledge, I ask Members whether everyone they know has such political knowledge.

[Kwasi Kwarteng (Spelthorne) (Con)]

Will the hon. Lady give way?

[Danielle Rowley]

No.

On behalf of my constituents and of 16 and 17-year-olds watching across the country, I urge Members to vote for this important Bill.
