Thank you sarah. Now let us welcome from northern ireland, manchester francesca drumm. Francesca the world around us is changing fast. That just our Political Landscape but also on a social, geographical and cultural level. We all agree that the past months have been amongst the most chaotic and confusing that we as young people have witnessed. And yet we strive to raise our voices, the argument and the discourse. As bystanders and observers. Disregarded by the debates. Generation cryur for recognition. We seek to be had. Heard. We seek integrity. Values that we believe to be a cornerstone to any political argument. And we have been overlooked among state beer mongering and recent times. Today, as we consider the prospect of a kinder, there were democracy, we have the crucial task of young people to communicate the values that are integral to our generation. Hope, possibility and vision for a new world where boundaries between them and us must be breached. A society that looks in on itself grows smaller and weaker by each passing day. We, engage, it is enthusiastic and optimistic young people who are leading that call for change. Right here, right now and in every corner of the world. Is particularly true for me as a young person from northern island. I remember the good friday generation. I am not cynical or disenfranchised or pessimistic about the future of democracy, quite the opposite, i am excited for the young people across our committee in northern island. Seek a better, kinder democracy. They played a part in shaking heritage divisions. Excusing them with optimism and hope. Coupled with an open mind and a vision for our future that motivates us to lead this call for change. And it earned us the right to debate in this Great Chamber this afternoon. Generation that will exchange beer with health, replaced suspicion with trust. [applause] thank you francesca for that. Scotland, welcome kieran. Rk bray now kieran i would like to thank my mom and dad who dressed me today. My sisters who got me here on time. When talking about the kind of democracy, my first thought was the weightings arent are not the way they have to be. What i have heard. Thinking about the current situation, i know we are pointing fingers. This is useless. We should be looking at the future. We are providing a negative outlook on the future. With a increase in the pension age which means young people having less jobs. The future looks bleak. Way things are not the way they have to be. We need to be optimistic. We need to have better systems. Better public services. We must support a greener incher. Future. That is just the type of the iceberg the tip of the iceberg. The weightings are not the way it has to be. We dont know where we are going but we know where we are coming from. It is quite exciting. Cheers. [applause] thank you. Now, come from the southeast, we fromhear enthusiastically, walter. Walter thank you mr. Speaker. 15 million young people live in the u. K. One quarter of the entire. Opulation we have barely any influence over the decisions that affect our futures. Young people are faced with so many problems. Discrimination, and a list just goes on. We are not actually beginning bs being given the chance to. I am not if it apathetic. We care deeply about social causes and when given the opportunity, and people can do great things. Only 19 years old, look at what this man achieved. We all have the potential for greatness. But currently, it has been counterbalanced by disillusionment. That is not ok. We need to engage young people. Out toians need to reach us and give us a chance to be part of the decisionmaking. As well as this, little education political education should be important. That will help improve our democracy. It is the power of the people, i did people. It is inclusive, not divisive. Old, male,ses young, female, able, disabled. All the glorious diversity in between. It is only by ensuring that we all have our first day that we can move forward into a better and kinder democracy. Thank you. [applause] john thank you. Now we will hear from the southwest, from jack payne. Thank you mr. Speaker. My name is jack. Im be elected southwest presented it. I want to talk about a personally trying i want to talk about personally trying to make a better, democracy. We are try to make politics more inclusive for young people who are disabled. There are very few mps who have a disability. This inequality in our democracy makes me want to campaign for democraciesntative for disabled people. No matter what your race or ability, you should be able to make your mark. A motion was passed in my name and to others to raise awareness and tobility rights encourage disabled people in politics. On the 24th of june, the referendum showed our country to be highly divided. I want the youth to you uptodate to show we can Work Together to make our society a more inclusive one. And on the whole, a better one, a better kind of democracy. Iq. [applause] john thank you jack for your speech and the work you are and just described to us. We shall now here from wales. [applause] thank you mr. Speaker. This year in politics, we have seemed to loss of focus. We got there are more people. We are hateful and ignorant. Democracy should be used as a tool to give people power over their lives. Help them to make a difference in their communities. So why have so few of the political debates focused on that . Instead, emphasis has been placed on inciting here and hatred. These arguments cause division in our communities. They cause people to be suspicious of their neighbors and hate the person sitting next to them on the bus. They are being encouraged to divide ourselves based on race and ethnic origins and religion. At the time when we most need to stand united. Isexample close to my heart responding to the refugee crisis. The beds are offering help. People are encouraged to hate and fear the most friendly people on the planet. We are using human beings as ways to scare monger. But fear cannot be used as a way of garnering votes. Dividing our communities is not the way to get support. Division,is not about hatred and fear. It is about people. Doing it together to build a better future. Thank you. [applause] john ellen, thank you. Now from the west midlands, i call cheyenne. Thank you mr. Speaker my coworkers to made this possible. Something i believe strongly in is racial equality and cultural diversity. It took a campaign to show me that anybody could take a stand and combating racism or any of the subjects they felt strongly about. Stereotypes are labels. It is time that we ripped those labels off. Let us go into the schools. All, the 11 to 18yearolds, they are the ones that elected us to do this job. They need us. It will make a massive difference. We need to report these things and stop them from happening. This is the 21st century. This is 2016. How can these things be carrying on . Celebrate our differences. Martin luther king once said i have a dream when my four children will not be judged by the color of the skin but the content of their character. What we should do, we should not see someone as the color or religion or tradition or a country or a race for that matter. We should see them as we see ourselves, so we can leave a legacy behind for the youth of the future and love all. Thank you. [applause] thank you cheyenne. Next, from yorkshire. Speaker, i call you up next. Thank you mr. Speaker. I am humbled to be speaking in the chamber today. It was in this house where william from yorkshire are good time at the time for the abolition of slavery and to change the course of history forever. So we must never underestimate the words being spoken in this house. Changing a challenging world. There has never been a more urgent aid for a better, kinder democracy. Democracy of change doesnt always happen. It happens from our communities across the country. A democracy where people are not disengaged or misinformed but instead are taking an active part in a national conversation. Represented by a gender balanced parliament. People from all backgrounds and walks of life. Truly reflecting the british society. Holding a people power democracy. Surely, is not the vision for the future. This is the vision for today and it is the right way forward. Put that vision into reality. Lets be the voice of hope. Lets silence the fear. Thank you. [applause] yet another sustained but very powerful speech. Piddly this the last speaker representing service, forare whom i hope you will give a rapturous welcome. It is lame west liam west. Democracy. This is the greatest Prime Minister ever served, winston churchill. Democracy in a u. K. Is great. The age everybody over of 18 can vote. All votes counted equally. But as a young person i feel that decisions are being made for which i have no influence. Furthermore, the problem with democracy is you need to register in order to vote. Might see itople as a bit of time. We need to automatically register when you turn 18 or 16 or 17. Finally, exit. As paul indicated, young people decided they didnt need to turn out. Thank you. [applause] thank you. We have had over 90 speakers today. We have had a very large number of contributions. Doinglly considered into much effort has gone. It has been delivered with great eloquence. There have been some remarkable personal testimonies in the course of the proceedings. Beope you have been proud to part of this great enterprise. Proud of those who spoken. Proud if you heard a great speech or had a new thought as a result of what you have heard. It has been a very special experience.

We are back in two big events over the last four months. Coming up in the next hour, it is present all the way as they try to work out what happens now that the u. K. Has voted to leave the eu. Is a the time the government stops running away from the looming threats of jobs and businesses in this country and the Living Standards of noise of people. I am optimistic about the prospect here. Newly talking about two experts about what we know now and what the present future holds. Leave it or not, there have been other subjects debated at westminster. Who is to blame for humanitarian disasters in syria. I think we are deceiving ourselves in this parliament. If we believe that we have no responsibility to what has happened in syria. And on a more personal note, and had he moves colors to tears when she tells them that she was raped. It was quite and i remain that fear,prised that horror as i realized that i couldnt escape. They have taken over debates at westminster, the exit from the eu. It was as dramatic as it was unexpected, ushering a new era in politics. In the immediate aftermath, a it caused David Cameron to resign and after a truncated leadership conference, theresa may took charge in days of turmoil. Has our palm it was on its summer recess, the new pm crisscrossed europe, shaking hands with leaders and pressing the uks case. So when september came, the leader of the s p group asked her what would happen now. Millions of people from across the United Kingdom depend on freedom of Movement Across the eu for business and pleasure. They face the prospect of having to apply and possibly pay for visas. Is the Prime Minister in favor of protecting visa free travel, yes or no . There was a very clear message from the british people at the time of the referendum vote on june the 23rd. That they wanted to cnns to Free Movement as it operated, they wanted to see control of the movement from the European Union to the u. K. And that is what we will deliver. The labor leader wanted to know what ministers were going to do now. This is a government that drew up no plans for brexit, that now has no strategy for negotiating brexit, and offers no clarity, no transparency and no chance of scrutiny of the process of developing a strategy. The jobs and incomes of millions of our people are at stake, the pound is plummeting, business is worrying and the government has no answers. The Prime Minister says she will not give a running commentary, but isnt it time government stopped running away from the looming threat to jobs and businesses in this country and the Living Standards of millions of people . Yes unlike the right honorable gentlemen, i am optimistic. Im optimistic about the trade deals that other countries are actively coming to us saying they want to do with the United Kingdom, and i am optimistic about how we will be able to ensure our economy grows outside of the European Union. But i have to say, labor did not want a referendum on this issue, we gave them the conservatives gave them a referendum. We are listing to the british people and deliberating on that result. The foreign secretary is shouting from a sedentary position. The secretary wants a second vote. I have to say to her, i would have thought that labor mps what have learned this lesson. You can ask the same question again and still get the answer you dont want. Recent reelection as leader. Democrats campaigned to stay in the eu and their leader predicted trouble ahead. When will she put the democrats campaigned to stay in the eu and their leader interests of hardworking british people above extremists . Extremist protectionism which nobody voted for . And as the weeks passed, other mps wanted to know what the plan was and how it might impact different parts of the u. K. The Prime Ministers plan for brexit seems to be to cut a special deal for the city of london so that the bankers avoid the dire consequences of leaving the European Union. The software exit for people in the city, the heart brexit for everyone else. When will she cut a similar deal for wales . I will be cutting the best deal for the United Kingdom, full stop. Away from westminster, the High Court Ruled that parliaments approval was needed to leave the European Union. Gina miller led the claim. The government had insisted it was possible for ministers to trigger what is known as article 50. The government appealed against the ruling, taking the case to the Supreme Court. A verdict is expected before the end of january. Meanwhile, back in parliament, labor mp wondered how a bank in india was impacting the u. K. And trying to work out how you can be doing your job if you arent getting clear indication there is a big difference in terms of how you do your job, a series of bilaterals, [indiscernible] a trade organization. It makes a big difference. You need to get just saying that we will have nothing to do with the world trade organization. Who is going to give you that indication . The negotiations have indeed begun. Havent even begun. But we are several months in. I understand, but we have a central forecast, which given what we know, and we dont know anything particularly special, but certainly the parliamentarians dont know. Given the likely outcome, it is a sensible forecast. But as this proceeds and if we get greater clarity, we will adjust that and it could be adjusted up or down. Elsewhere on the committee quarter, a leading campaigner asked if it was possible to have what he termed a Quickie Divorce from europe. He was told there was no quick fix solution. The chancellor handed to the Treasury Committee that he felt favored a more track drawnout transition than a quick break. There is an emerging view among businesses and regulators and politicians, as well as i think a universal view among Civil Servants on both sides of the english channel, that having a longer period to manage the adjustment between where we are now as full members of the European Union and where we get to in the future as a result of the negotiations we will be conducting would be generally helpful, would tend towards a smoother transition and would run less risks of disruption, including risks to financial stability. Philip hammond. Just how long might it take for the u. K. To leave the eu and set up new trade deals . Britains ambassador to the eus or ivan rogers sir ivan rogers was reported to have privately told the government that a post brexit u. K. Eu trade deal might take 10 years to finalize and still fail. It could be rejected by other eu members international parliaments. The whole issue was raised that by the trade secretary at commons questions. Should we ask for the reality check about the decadelong period of time it will take to extricate ou
