Progress on votes at 16 …

It was great to meet with democracy minister Sam Dixon to talk through the progress of introducing Votes at 16.

I was proud to be able to talk through the Oldham Youth Council Private Members Bill we presented to Parliament in 2017, which led to the establishment of the cross party group and eventually featuring in the Labour Party manifesto to now become a live bill making its way to become law.

I’ll obviously be supporting the Bill when it comes back to the Commons 👍
