Yes, I will, and I will seek an update for the hon. Lady.

Yesterday was one of my favourite days of the year—not because it was the Leader of the House’s birthday but because my Stafford students came down for their summer school. They met the Chancellor, the Speaker, other MPs and a Minister. They are passionate and inspiring young people who are keen to use their voices for good. Will the Leader of the House join me in thanking those people who gave their time for those young people yesterday? More importantly, will he thank those people around the UK who regularly volunteer to support young people and give them a safe space to be themselves?

I do indeed join my hon. Friend in thanking everyone involved in making her summer school a success and all the volunteers who support youth groups in all our areas. I have heard many good things about her summer school—long may it continue.
