Proceeding contribution from Margaret Greenwood (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill.

Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill

I am not sure whether the Minister was in the Chamber for the remarks that the hon. Member for Mansfield (Ben Bradley) made about new clause 84, which would require the Government to make

“reducing geographical disparities in adult literacy”

one of their missions, and to set out a plan

“to improve levels of adult literacy and eradicate illiteracy”.

The hon. Member seems to think that the Bill makes provision for that. It does not. Does the Minister agree that addressing adult literacy is a core issue if we are to get the very best out of everybody and give everybody the opportunities they need?
