in paying tribute to the incredibly dedicated men and women who work tirelessly to improve life stay in and day out. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with mr. colleagues and others, in addition to my duty and so special further such meetings later today. later this week i will tend to meeting of the g20 where i will discuss the global economy, counterterrorism and sustainable settlements with my fellow leaders. >> thank you, mr. speaker. her speech was -- forced to abort a baby get a pic this is only some of the domestic abuse my constituent has faced by her estranged husband because she has refused gentleman relation of her daughter. she is educated, has a mortgage and had a good job until the home office revoked her right to work. i have been writing to the home office since march and have gotten nowhere.

where will prime minister now intervened to stop the family being deported and being subject to female genitalia and? >> i say to the honorable lady the home secretary has heard the case that she has set out here today. the issue of female genital mutation, we are all agreed across his whole house it is an abort activity. it should not be taken place. great efforts have been made over recent years both in terms of strengthening the law on e-mail genital mutilation also getting information out about this issue and trying to support people in community whether it is a practice of fgm. i think the message that she got from this house today. we will not accept it in this country. >> thank you, mr. speaker. in the last few days iraqi security forces assisted by coalition airstrikes have made

significant progress in eradicating isil fighters from mosul. this is a significant step forward in the military conflict against isil anorak but with the prime minister agree with me that the uk and the united states and abroad international ally to needs to work with the iraqi government to ensure reconstruction in places like mosul as well as working with the iraqi government to make sure that he can sufficiently strong to withstand the poisonous ideology of isil as we seek to defeat it? >> my honorable friend is right here in order to keep britain safety must continue to attack daesh anorak and syria, and uk is playing its part in one of the seven members of the coalition. we have conducted over 1400 strikes. there are over 50 500 british soldiers on the ground fighting further assistance but my honorable friend makes the important point that is not just about th the military action tht takes place. it's about how we ensure their sustainable reconstruction and

rebuilding afterwards. our troops have felt train over 55,000 iraqis they could he forces personnel, we are providing over 169.5 billion pounds in humanitarian aid and a further 30 noting to iraq stabilize these liberated areas. and together we must also work not just in iraq but international to ensure they fall ideology of extremism is not able to poison the minds of people. >> jeremy corbyn. >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, master but wishing everyone a very happy pride month and especially those taking part in the pride march this saturday and similar marches around the country? we should also beware a survey taken by pride in london found that half of lgbt people in london and experienced hate crime in the past 12 months. i join the mr. speaker, in wishing the nhs of her happy birthday. i was hoping she's going to say bit more about nhs staff and the

pay during her birthday greetings. because after a week of flip-flopping and floundering we thought we had some clarity from downing street at last. on monday announced that was that the public sector pay gap of 1% remains and a rare moment of agreement between number ten and 11 was seen but yesterday we had news that firefighters will be offered 2% this year and 3% next year. so can so can the prime minister confirm whether the public sector pay cap will remain for all other public servants until 2020? >> may i join the right honorable gentleman in wishing everybody is going to take part in pride london on saturday an excellent day? i'm sure will be a very good location as it always has been. can i also say i and members of this house value the work he's done incredibly important work done by public sector workers including -- [shouting] including those in the national

health service and others. i understand why people feel strongly about the issue of the pay but perhaps i can just set out -- perhaps i can just -- for the information of the house, mr. speaker, perhaps i could just set out what the current position is. we have at three pay review bodies in the sector public report in march. that cover doctors entities. nhs staff including nurses and the armed forces. the government accepted the recommendations in all three. the firefighters award is not the mood -- is not determined by the government, it is determined by the employers and not subject to a pay review boddicker thecke our outstanding pay review by reports. those covered teachers, prison offices, police officers and senior cell district the government will consider those reports very carefully and will respond to them. but while we do that we were

always recognize they need to ensure that we take those decisions against the need to live within our means. the right honorable gentleman and i both value public sector workers and our public services. the difference is i know we have to pay for them. [shouting] >> the public sector pay cap causes real shortages in nursing and teaching and many other professions, as well as real hardship. i had a letter last week from a teacher called david -- it's all right. he's a teacher to he's doing a good job all right? in he says quote i've been teaching for ten years. i see my workload increase. i've seen more people leave the profession then start, and no form of pay increase in seven years. the only thing holding the education system together is the

dedication to struggle on for their students and staff. andy says this dedication is starting to run out. what we are doing by this pay cap i say to the prime minister is recklessly exploiting the goodwill of public servants like david. they need a pay rise. >> the lid of the opposition refers to the number of nurses and teachers we have been working in the public sector. we now have more nurses in hospitals that we had in 2010, more teachers in our schools. but let me remind the right honorable gentleman why it has been nested for us to exercise restraint in public spending, including capping public sector pay. it's because we inherited the biggest deficit in our peacetime history. [shouting] we have acted --

[shouting] >> order, order. i noticed earlier, mr. mack mood, that you seen the end of a hyper condition today. i recommend that you take some sort soothing medicament or go and lie down for a little while. you will feel better at the end of it. >> we acted to bring the deficit down by a quarter and half. it now down by three-quarters. at the same time we see the economy growth and we seen record levels of people in employment. our policy on public sector pay as always recognize that we need to balance the need to be fair to public sector workers, to protect, to protect jobs in the public sector and to be fair to those who pay for it. that is the balance we need to strike, and we continue to assess that balance. >> we've had seven years of tax cuts for the richest and tax breaks for the biggest corporations. and last year, and last year,

mr. speaker,, last year, mr. speaker, there was a net loss of 1700 nurses and midwives to the nhs, and in the first two months of this year alone, 3264 have left the profession altogether. not a great birthday present for the nhs, is it? last week the chancellor said, with all value our public services and the people who provide them to us. he went on to laud his own economic record by saying that we had a fundamentally robust economy. well, the prime minister found 1 billion pounds to keep her own job. why can't you find the same amount of money to keep nurses and teachers in their jobs who,, after all, serve all of us? >> the right honorable gentleman talks about the number of nurses. in fact, i think some of those

figures he was talking about was the number of nurses who have registered in the united kingdom. there are about 600,000 nurses registered in the united kingdom, about half of them were in the nhs in england. contrary to what he says we have 13,000 more nurses working today compared with 2010. [shouting] i understand that it has been hard for people who have been working hard and making sacrifices over the years as we have been dealing with labour's this management of the economy. [shouting] let me just, let me just -- [shouting] let me remind the right honorable gentleman of what happens when you don't deal with the deficit. it's not a theoretical issue. let's look at those countries that fail to deal with it.

in greece where they haven't dealt with the deficit -- [shouting] yes. what did we see with failure to deal with the deficit? spending on the health service cut by 36%. that doesn't help nurses or patients. >> jeremy corbyn. >> i hope the prime minister is proud of her record of controlling public sector pay to the extent that hard-working nurses have had access to food banks in order to survive. [shouting] and the frozen wages or teaching assistants, paramedics and council workers. mr. speaker, it's not just in the public sector. across the economy wages are rising by 2.1% while inflation is nearly 3%. 6 million workers already unless and a living wage. what does the prime minister

think that tells us about seven years of a conservative government and what it's done to the living standards of those people on whom we all rely to get our public services, our health services delivered to us? >> i'll tell the right honorable gentleman what's happened over the last seven years. we've seen record numbers of people in employment. [shouting] nearly 3 million more people in work. we have seen the introduction of the national living wage, never done by labour, but by a conservative government. and we've seen 4 million people taken out of paying income tax altogether and a cut in income tax and a change in the personal allowance which is the equivalent of 1000 pounds a year year to basic rate taxpayers, including nurses.

that's a record of good management of the economy. you only get it with the conservatives. [shouting] >> jeremy corbyn. >> mr. speaker, mr. speaker, the prime minister simply doesn't get it. [shouting] >> order. we have plenty of time. i'm quite happy to run on for some considerable period of time. people are making excessive noise should try to calm themselves and perhaps just get a moments thought to whether they would like to be viewed by their constituents shrieking their heads off. it's very downmarket. jeremy corbyn. >> mr. speaker, that is a lope epidemic in this country, and it has a terrible effect on young people.

those in the '20s will earn 12,500 pounds a year less than the generation that went before them. the first generation to be worse off than the last. they are less likely to be able to buy their own home, or likely to be saddled with debt, more likely to be insecure, low-paid work. except for more misery, what does the prime minister and the government actually offer for the young people of this country? >> to echo the words of my colleagues what we offer young people is more jobs, more homes, and opportunity to own their own home. let me just tell the right honorable gentleman what isn't fair. it isn't fair to refuse to take tough decisions and to load debts on our children and grandchildren.

[shouting] it isn't fair to bankrupt our economy because that leads to people losing their jobs and losing their homes, and it isn't fair to go out and tell people that they can have all of public spending they want without paying for it. labour's away leads to fewer jobs, higher prices, more taxes. and labour's way means everyone pays the price of labour. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, when tories talk of tough choices we know who suffers, it's the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. young people employed on zero hours of contracts are more likely to have worse mental and physical health. students who have worked hard at university graduating with the

7000 pounds worth of debt that will stay with them until they retire. mr. speaker, let me spell it out to the prime minister. this is the only country in which wages have not recovered and the global financial crash. more people are using food banks, 4 million children living in poverty, record in work poverty, young people who see no prospect of owning their own home, and 6 million earning less than the living wage. the lope epidemic is a threat to our economic stability. can she take some tough choices and instead of offering platitudes, offer some real help and real support for those in work, young people, who deserve better and deserve to be given more optimism, rather than greater inequality? >> we actually now see that the

proportion of people in absolute poverty is at record lows. he asked for help for those who are low-paid. i'll tell him to help with given them reiterate the help we are given who are lope. we introduce the mandatory national living wage, the lowest earners passes pay rise in 20 years. we have cut taxes, taken people out of paying income tax, that s for those who are on basic rate taxpayers. we are doing what is important for this country which is in truth there are jobs and an economy providing those jobs for people, because the best route out of poverty is being in work. and i know, i know that the right honorable gentleman has taken to calling itself a government in waiting. well, we all know what that means, waiting to put up taxes, waiting to destroy jobs, waiting to bankrupt our country.

we will never let this happen. [shouting] >> order. i understand the house is excited about hearing the right honorable member, nicky morgan. >> thank you very much indeed. i know the prime minister and her ministers and many other members of the sets are committed to mental health care for everyone. i'm a founder of the welding project. i recently fitted and is leading service. as a result of this, 1.4 billion more is going to mental health services. how can the prime minister ensure that that money is getting to frontline nhs services consistently? >> first, let me commend by right honorable friend in the work she has done in setting up the welding project and unhappy

to join her in paying tribute to the work of the eating disorders service. as she says they do incredibly important work and we must do more to transform the mental health service we provide for young people but also mental health generally. that's why we're putting more money into mental health and it will reach our spending on mental health will reach a record 11.6 billion reached that last yupik that's funding we do to make sure he gets through to frontline services. one example of that is a work were doing to ensure that teachers and staff in schools are trained to better identify and better deal with mental health problems when your present with the children. i saw that when i visited orchard school in bristol last week, excellent work on with improving to call it services for young people with mental health. >> thank you, mr. speaker. as will be to today the funeral is taking place at st. peter's church in dundee for the former leader of the scottish national party and member of parliament

of dundee east from 1974-1987. i'm sure the house would. i'm sure the house would like to join me in community life and contributions of politics of the late, dearly missed friend and colleague gordon wilson. >> here, here. >> mr. speaker, the uk government has not announced the measures to address rising inflation at slowing wage growth which the eye fss escapist dreadful. as workers faced with a decade of lost wage growth and indoor the worst. of pain 70 years can does the prime minister think she's looking out for the just about managing? >> can't i first saw say to the auto adjustment as at the last week i'm sure all members of this house will wish to both offer our condolences to the fence and him and colleagues of late gordon wilson also to recognize the role that he played in politics united kingdom including in this house. and i say to the honorable gentleman as i said to the

leader of the opposition what is important is we ensure that we have an economy which is increasing number of jobs. because the best route out of poverty is the people to be in work. that is what we are doing. we are seeing nearly 3 million more jobs being created over recent years. that's important for people. we also help people are example by cutting taxes or if it's at the will be done for people who are low-paid, introducing the national living wage. these are measures that are giving people real help. >> of course is a forecast of rise in in work poverty that should concern. the likely increase again people in poverty of the lifetime of this parliament. mr. speaker, since the 2010 general election the ftse 100 has risen by 39.6%. monetary policy not these quantitative easing has helped drive up financial assets for workers to pay the price. workers will earn no more by

2021 and they didn't 2008. will the prime minister give workers a pay rise? >> i would've thought particularly with his back of the honorable gentleman would recognize the role the monetary policy including the quantitative easing has done in ensuring that we have the jobs in the economy that are so important to people. >> thank you, mr. speaker. can she tell you what steps the government are taken to drive value for money and efficiency in the 80 budget to ensure taxpayers money is used to vote global peace and security in the national interest? >> i have to say i am proud the government is committed to honoring our international commitments on aid. i think that's an important this country. this many saving lives, building a stable prosperous world, that is from our national interest but, of course, he's right. we need to make sure money were

spending is being spent properly and efficiently. the international development sector is driving value for money and efficiency in the a budget. focusing a good chance particular boosting payment by results and driving value for money from suppliers and we did set up in 2011 an independent a watchdog together with dog assistant and controls. it's important were committed to this money but it's also important we make sure it is spent well. >> my young constituent -- [inaudible] it was the one w with an ad to e landlord withdrew from the contract because she refused to pay 12 month advanced rent. she knows -- she faces having another agent nonrefundable fee for different property. when will the transfer act to put an end to these ripoff fees and stop these agents capitalizing on young people and

others? >> the honorable gentleman should look at the queen's speech. we made reference to the queen's speech. we recognize these issues but he says when might you will recognize in this house we need to ensure anything we bring forward we get right so it's going to work. we recognize the problem and are going to do something about it. >> in 200 2008 i brought forwarn amendment to the animal welfare act that would have extended the senses for cruelty to animals from weeks to years. will my right honorable friend look to see what can be done to ensure people who are willfully cruel to animals are punished far more severely? >> i'm grateful to my friend for raising this issue. we all share high regard for animal welfare, the important to have in place strict laws to ensure we deal properly with people not looking after animals. anyone who's cruel to an animal

or doesn't fight for its welfare needs may be banned from owning animals, given an unlimited fine or as he says sent to prison. he's right the sinc sensing is a nation that's why we're in discussion with the ministry of justice on sensing policy for animal welfare offenders. >> with the civil service reportedly having to explain in crayon to the cabinet that there is no have your cake and eat it brexit option, will she come clean and admit she's prioritizing her own absolutist red lines, not peoples jobs and wages? >> i'm afraid i have to say to the honorable gentleman that he will have heard the answer before. what we want to do is negotiate the best possible before the united kingdom that ensures that a comprehensive free-trade agreement, that we can continue to trade with our european partners, that we have that new deep and special partnership with the european union at that we ensure we're growing our

economy. it's not just about our relationship with the european union. it's about trade deals we will do with coaches run the rest of the world and it's about ensuring sound management from the conservative government. >> harbor commissioners have highlighted to me that valuable contribution that retired police sergeant and now special constable russ hall has major maritime policing. that's my right honorable friend belief that joint of working with other agencies is essential to make a positive contribution to beating crime and small harbors and helping protect our borders? >> i join my honorable friend in recognizing the contributions special constable russ hall has made in her constituency. she makes an important point. indeed when i some secretary i brought various agencies, please come aboard a force and to look at this issue of how we deal with protecting our borders.

and joined up working to make a real and positive contribution. as she will know of course what matters is not just how we do that but ensuring were having an impact and, of course, as you would know crime has fallen by a third since 2010 and has fallen to a record low. >> thank you, mr. speaker. thank you for advising about my blood pressure. [laughing] >> when i go to the hospital to see my consult on monday i'm sure he will give me the same advice. my blood pressure is rising because when i go and see those nurses in those hospitals were overstretched, overworked, underpaid and having to use food banks, that's what my blood pressure rises. because when she pays lip service and does a look at indie the public sector pay gap will she now typically, listen to the plea of those nurses and do something about the pay sector cap? >> i set out the position in response to the leader of opposition we spoke earlier.

of course people may not realize that for nurses there is of course the overall public sector pay increase but also many nurses receiving increments or progression pay on top of that. for a typical band by nurse will receiving 3.8% over the 1%. >> thank you, mr. speaker. it is a strong economy that powers this governments investment in the nhs and is a a strong economy that is allowing this government to create 1500 new medical schools laces and new medical schools. does the prime minister agree with me that the unique plurality and sparsity makes a compelling play for new medical school in this great county? >> it makes -- he makes in a point which is why we can pay for public service if we have a strong economy. thathat is actually the basis of it.

as he said we're going to train 1500 more doctors every year to ensure the nhs has enough doctors to continue providing that's a compassionate care that we all want to see. the department of health is looking at the question how to allocate these places and will publish their consultation response shortly. we are looking at the possible of new and aspiring medical schools, and i'm sure as my uncle fred has always been a champion force constituents and his constituency can he will continue to make an excellent case. >> on saturday the shadow chancellor and i joint staff from picturesque cinemas outside the ritzy in brixton floor strike because of an poor refused to pay the london living wage and as outrageously sacked their trade union representative. will the prime minister join me in calling on picture house cinemas who made a profit last year of more than 80 million pounds come to pay the staff the london living wage and to reinstate their local reps immediately?

>> this is about a relationship between employers and their employees. all i would say to her overall is the importance of government taking the right decision to ensure -- excuse me. taking the right decision to ensure that growing the economy of providing those jets of people in the first place. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i would like to thank the prime minister to come up and camping in my district. what i think we did rather wel. i would like to ask if you agrees it utterly shameful the scottish government have for the second year in a row had to completing the european commission for extension to the farm payment deadline?

if further proof were needed, the snp are failing rural scotland? >> order. we are fascinated to the answer but i should just say that although i'm very interested to the edge and will come the prime minister is not responsible for the scottish government. the prime minister. >> can i first of all welcome my honorable friend to his place in this house. trento i very much enjoyed my visit during the election campaign. what he says is absolutely right. because time and again in this chamber, mr. speaker, we hear the scottish nationalist demanding more powers for scotland. yet what do we see they are failing to deliver on the scottish people on the powers they already have. yet again scottish schools are outperforming every category by schools in england, northern ireland, estonia and poland.

powers i captain edinboro rather than being developed to local people, yet again we see farmers waiting months for the subsidy payments. the principal fact is the policies are not in the best interest of the people of scotland. >> order, order. i say to the honorable gentleman from glasgow south who persist in gesticulating in an extremely eccentric man facing a little discombobulated from the world he inhabits. which is a very unhappy state of affairs that cannot long continue. >> the southern rail dispute is gotten real damage to the economy of eastbourne in the southeast. my constituents about a dreadful time with the shocking service or not provided over the last 18 months. this sadly cannot go on. will the prime minister enlighten me, my constituents and the house to why the department of transport and the train operator will not meet with the unions at the same time in the same room together to

negotiate a deal? >> i recognize the problem that a been experienced by tax and some terrific as amount that is been raised by number of my colleagues in the house including my honorable friend the member for lewis the race and lastly i'm very disappointed that aslef and the rmt have called for more than a short action. it's it will do is cause more disruption and frustration for passengers. the recent independent give report said the main cause of widespread disruption on southern has been union action. i would urge the unions to call off the strikes can work with the operators and deliver the services that passengers need. >> businesses across my constituency will be -- to hear the calls for broadband are

being answered by the digital infrastructure investment fund which will unlock about 1 billion pounds for full fiber service and help them create jobs, taken in rural areas. will the prime minister agree with me that is exactly the infrastructure spend we need to get our country rex it ready? >> my honorable friend makes an important point and we're already additional related and we're committed to making sure this country remains so. we already have seen nancy present uk accessing superfast broadband i will attract which 95% by the end o end of the abot to see more commercial investment in the gold standard connectivity and that's why we launched the digital infrastructure investment fund. companies around uk including in brentwood will be able to apply for match funny for projects which was he fiber delivered right to the doorstep. yesterday we announced when oedipus and business rate relief for those businesses rolling out new fiber. this is important to want to

continue to be a world leader and actions the government are taking to make sure we will be. >> police officer numbers and wales have dropped by 10% since her party came to power. if policing were devolved as it is in order and in scotland, welsh police forces would have extra funding worth 25 million at their disposal which would more than replace those lost officers. what justification is there for refusing to devolve policing? >> we've been on this discussion before i can address the centrl issue what the honorable lady is talking about which is about police budget and the number of police officers. we are protecting police budget since 2015. 2015. that i believe is acknowledged across the house. we've not just protecting the police budget, we are ensuring that the police have the capabilities they need to deal with new types of crime, creating national cybercrime

unit, creating national crime agency. these are important steps to ensure the police can do their job of cutting crime, and crime is at a record low. >> and i think the prime minister trudeau using the trade, agriculture and fisheries brexit those in the queen's speech which we welcome broad cross the west country group were facing some significant challenges which are role also network and the transition of some the post office branches run community branches to committee village stores and committee buildings. some of his notes have been smooth and some of them have not. can ask her to take a look at it and see if there's anything more the government can do to help my constituents? >> my friend makes an important point and it's right we should recognize the role that is played in communities like rural post offices and rural post offices in places like camel third is a constituency but in the constituencies of other members as over we had invested

2 billion pounds up to 22. the number of post offices is action at its most stable for decades. he's right, i would urge the post office to help make it as easy as possible our shops to want to take over postal service is to be able to do so. >> mr. speaker, 2400 people have died as result of the nhs contaminated blood scandal, more than hillsboro and all the other disasters over the previous two decades put together. with the compelling evidence that the former right honorable member for lee presented to parliament on april 25 of a criminal cover-up of an industrial scale, will the prime minister now do the right thing and order a public inquiry for the whole united kingdom? >> will the honorable lady raises an important issue and in no the thoughts of members of house will be with all of those have been affected by this

terrible tragedy in relation to contaminated blood. serious allegations have been made and i would say information has been brought forward to the house will be looked at by ministers of the department of health. if any member has any further information or evidence they believe will be important that should go to ministers so that they can properly investigate it. we are providing more compensation than any previous government and committed 125 million extra funding of those affected for the contaminated blood tragedy last july. the department of health will look at any new evidence that is brought forward. >> mr. speaker, rather than celebrating the nhs, the party opposite rather shamelessly have tried weaponizing the nhs as a mere tool for political campaigning. will the prime minister assure me that services like the 999 service will be decided upon based on clinical decisions not those of paul seditions that

attend weaponized our public services? >> -- politicians. >> my friend is right. relation to the services provided by the nhs it is so important that decisions are taken on a clinical basis by those who understand the needs and requirements of people and in different areas. and that's why we have set up nhs england which has a plan for developing services in the nhs over a five-year period. it's important that politicians allow clinicians and others in nhs to make the decisions they need to. >> i know the house will be thinking of my constituents conjugates and chris gard and charlie at this incredibly difficult time. it's clear that if charlie remains in uk there is no for the treatment available and on life support will be switched off. there are differing views about

the chances of the nucleoside bypass therapy which other children albeit with less severe forms of charlie's condition benefit from. i understand the chances of improvement for chart although by the doctors were built to say within three months whether charlie is hi responding and whether that change is clinically beneficial. if there's any room for this question -- discretion to allow charlie to leave and to transfer his care to doctors at columbia university, and he is officially stable to receive treatment, would the prime minister do all she can to bring the appropriate people together to try and make this happen? >> cat i first of all say to the honorable lady that she is right to raise the concerns of her constituents in relation to this matter and enter the thoughts of all members of the house are with the family and charlie at this exceptionally difficult time. it's an unimaginable position or anybody to be in and i fully understand and appreciate that any parent in these circumstances would want to do everything possible and explore every option for the seriously

ill child. i also know that no doctor of the once to be placed in the terrible pussy with it to make such hard breaking decisions. she referred to the fact we have that court process. i'm confident that the hospital has a nose will consider any offers or new information that have come forward with consideration of the well-being of a desperately ill child. >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, when the prime minister and i left our comprehensive schools to go to university, we entered into a privileged elite. can my right honorable friend confirm that as a result of tuition fees, introduced by labour, improved by the coalition, there are now more young people from working-class and poor backgrounds going to university than ever before? because some people say there are fewer. are they right or are they wrong?

[shouting] >> i'm very happy to join my honorable friend in relation to this issue in recognizing that she and i left comprehensive schools in which universities at a time when the number of people going to university was significantly lower than it is today. i'm also grateful to her for reminding the house that actually it was the labour party that said they would not introduce tuition fees and then when they got into government, introduce tuition fees. what we are seeing under the current system, what we're seeing under the current -- what we're seeing under the current system is more young people than ever going to university and crucially, to address the points you raise, disadvantaged 18 year olds are 40% more likely to go to university now than they were in 2009. >> thank you, mr. speaker.
