Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will hold discussions with the Northern Ireland Executive on the potential merits of extending schemes such as Young Futures Hubs to Northern Ireland.

I am committed to ensuring we continue to work closely with devolved governments, including on youth. I have met counterparts from the Northern Ireland Executive and my officials meet regularly with officials in the devolved governments to share best practice on youth programmes.
