📚 🇬🇧 **MPs launch inquiry amid warning of ‘generational shift’ in reading for pleasure**

"_It comes after the National Literacy Trust found earlier this year only one in three (33%) of young people aged eight to 18 say they read in their spare time._

_This has fallen from 51% in 2005 – which translates to a 36% fall – and is the lowest level seen in 20 years._"
