Lords ChamberIs the Minister aware that, since 2012, about 30 youth centres in London have closed?

Will my noble friend tell the House whether the Government have any plans to substitute that loss?
My noble friend will of course know that youth provision is a decision for local authorities and how they allocate funds.
