89 days to go

The Young Voters Cabinet today was an extraordinary event. Held in the SECC it brought together 10 Scottish Government Ministers including the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister , with over 150 young people for intensive discussion and questioning.

Organised jointly with Youth Link Scotland, the Scottish Youth Parliament and Young Scot it allowed an amazing variety of young people to express their hopes and fears directly to Government as well as giving them the chance to seek information or reassurance.

Each Cabinet member hosted a table which had a succession of different young people coming to it in groups. Then there was a question and answer session for the whole team.

Here my colleague Kenny MacAskill, Cabinet Secretary for Justice, hears about issues that affect young voters preparing to make their choice in the referendum.
