Hundreds of young people are set to take part in a "groundbreaking" debate in the House of Lords as part of a national drive to highlight the achievements of youngsters.

The youngsters, including an asylum seeker, a former homeless teenager and others from "challenging" backgrounds, will debate issues of importance to them.

The event is part of Shine Week, created by the Government to mark the positive achievements of young people.
