The Scottish Youth Parliament is an organisation committed to ensuring that the voice of Scotland’s young people is listened to by all decision-makers. There are two MSYPs covering the Banff & Buchan constituency.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
“The Scottish Youth Parliament provides an important voice for young people across the country, and I was glad to have had the opportunity to host one of Banff & Buchan’s youth representatives as she visited the Scottish Parliament.
“I have listened with interest to the points that Ms Gaskin had to make and believe that it was a very worthwhile meeting. Young people can often find themselves excluded from the political process, but I am sure they will be glad to have someone like Alex standing up for their interests.”
Commenting during her visit, Alex Gaskin MSYP said:
“I was delighted to be able to visit the Scottish Parliament and meet with my local constituency MSP. It gave me the chance to discuss issues that are important to young people in Banff & Buchan and I think we covered a good range of topics.
“It is important that the voices of young people in Banff & Buchan are heard by our politicians and I think my meeting with Stewart Stevenson has helped ensure that continues to happen.”
