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

Debate between Peter Kyle and Alex Chalk

2nd reading: House of Commons
Friday 11th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Peter Kyle]

When I held a question and answer session with young people at Brighton Hove and Sussex sixth-form college recently, their questions were erudite, thoughtful and passionate, and rarely concerned their own lived experience in an educational establishment but addressed the big issues facing their community, our country and our planet.

[Alex Chalk (Cheltenham) (Con)]

Does the hon. Gentleman think that the legal age for drinking should be reduced to 16?
