UKYP choose Transport in the House of Commons

On 4th November 2011, over 300 Members of Youth Parliament (MYP), including Faye, the Reading MYP, took part in a UK Youth Parliament debate, voting for 'Making Public Transport Cheaper' as their main campaign for 2012

Four other topics were debated as well as making public transport cheaper, following a vote of over 65,000 young people across the nation, to choose these five from a list of around 30.  These were:

• ‘No to Tuition Fees, Yes to Graduate Tax’
• 'Zero Tolerance towards Bullying in Schools’
• ‘End Child Poverty’
• ‘A Greener Future for Britain’

Faye was one of the 70 chosen to speak, of the approximately 350 who wanted to, and made a strong point in the bullying debate.
