The Select Committee

There's a first time for everything...and for me today it was giving evidence to a House of Lords Select Committee at Westminster.

It's always impressive going into the Houses of Parliament, but this time I got to head along the Committee Room corridors.

The topic of the House of Lords enquiry is Financial exclusion and the focus today was on the issues affecting young people, especially those who face greater disadvantage. Such an important topic and tied to so many elements of young people's lives. Lots of ground covered in the hour or so giving evidence, reflecting the interconnectedness of the subject to a whole host of life stages.
