HUDDERSFIELD MP Barry Sheerman met young people from West Yorkshire to talk about Connexions.

They were at Parliament to talk to MPs about their experiences with Connexions, the careers and training organisation.

They also passed on the message to the Government that Connexions plays a vital role in the lives of many young people.

Mr Sheerman said: "I was very impressed with them and was pleased to hear about the positive impact that Connexions has had in West Yorkshire.

"Some of those I met had not had positive experiences at school. Connexions made sure they did not `fall out' of the system. I am convinced of the vital role that Connexions plays."
