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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether it is the Government's policy to deliver a three year youth policy statement; when she plans to announce her priorities and plans for youth policy; and what the reason is for the time taken for the Government to deliver that statement.

DCMS conducted a series of regional workshops in March and April to discuss current issues for youth policy with representatives from the youth sector, local authorities and young people. The evidence gathered is being used by the Office for Civil Society across their youth policy work.
