As I am the youngest Member of this Parliament, it will not surprise many hon. Members to
00:06
hear that I have not been out of the education system for that long. Indeed, I was in the
00:12
first cohort of students whose A-level exams were cancelled during the pandemic, and in
00:16
many ways it was that experience that politicised me. I grew up in a deprived rural area and
00:22
was concerned from a young age to see a progressive decline in local high streets, alongside growing
00:27
problems in public services, notably within schools. When I was in my final year at a
00:33
rural school, budget cuts forced the closure of its sixth form, leaving me and many others
00:38
having to find alternative provision at short notice, which was not easy for many, who faced
00:42
very long journeys indeed to the nearest alternatives.
