On Friday 30th October, over 300 young people from around the country took over the House of Commons chamber. It was the first time anyone other than MPs have debated in the Commons and sat on the green benches. The historic move saw elected 11-18 year-old Members of Youth Parliament debate issues of concern to young people across the UK. In the first half of the debate, MYPs discussed abolishing tuition fees, youth crime and public transport. The material is Copyright of UK Parliament.
