Tories set to break manifesto vow on youth fund
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
THE TORIES have failed miserably to deliver on manifesto pledges to increase funding for young adults’ services, Labour charged today.
Spending on teenagers and young adults has been cut by a whopping 60 per cent on average under successive Tory governments, it was revealed last night.
Analysis by the House of Commons library shows the vast scale of cuts to services for people aged 16 to 24 in England, where average spending has fallen from £142 per young person in 2011-12 to just £56 in 2018-19.
