representatives of seven parties took part in a Question Time special, with an audience of 18 - to 30-year-old.

the BBC Reality Check looked at Some of their claims during the 90-minute debate in York.

The Conservative Robert Jenrick said: "We have Built of 450,000 affordable housing in This Country since 2010. The is more, on average, per year than the Labour Government did before us, from 1997 to 2010. "

Reality Check : It is true that since 2010, about 450 000 affordable apartments have been added to the supply of housing in England. Not all of them are newly Built - Some have been converted from commercial real estate or by division of a dwelling into two or more.

This is a little more on average a year over The Last Labour Government - 50,107 a year, compared with 42,854 between 1997 and 2010.

But these figures include all types of affordable housing including housing for social rent. And that means that the Total number of affordable houses will not be added to, say, every year the whole story.

Since 2010, The Balance has shifted, away from homes, for social rent and in the direction of the more expensive affordable housing rents, which Make Up the majority of those added under the Conservatives.

agreed to The inexpensive Rented houses scheme, that the rent should be a maximum of 80% of the market rate. Homes for social rent is more like 50% of the market rate are usually.

Nearly half as many homes for social rent have been in The Past nine years, in The Nine years before.

Labour's Angela Rayner said: "Our priority must be to resolve The Four million children in poverty. "

Reality Check : There is no single measure of poverty, but it is true to say, there are about four million children were living in low-income households in 2017-18,

In this case, low income is less than 60% of the median income (half the people deserve to earn More Than the median and half less).

Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson said: "The Conservatives are literally The Department of Climate Change , managed to sell The Green investment bank and held onshore-wind. "

Reality Check : These claims are largely true.

The SNP Humza Yousaf said: "We have Built 87,000 affordable homes, the vast majority of social rent, and we are on target, our 50,000 home target, up to the year 2021. "

Reality Check : show that 86,157 affordable homes have already been in Scotland since 2007.

The Scottish Government has set a target to build 50,000 affordable homes between 2016 and 2021. After three years of the programme, it is halfway to this goal, but the Chartered Institute of Housing, said in October that the rate of financial statements would need to continue to rise to meet him.

Reality Check : Yes, but this is a complex issue. Manure from herbivorous animals can be exhausted to increase the amount of carbon, trapped in soils due to intensive agriculture. But, the soil is saturated with carbon dioxide, so that, if more manure is deposited beyond this point, it continues to cause problems in the environment.

What's more, carbon is the only pollutant. Sheep and cows produce tons of Methane - a strong greenhouse gas. To pastures due to the complexity of the equation between the control of Methane and suppression of carbon, it is not firmly anchored, even if it would be good to stop the sheep, and replace them with the woods.

The Independent UK Committee on climate protection, says to combat Climate Change , contribute, because beef and lamb produce the most greenhouse gases from farms.

Plaid Cymru leader Adam Price , Angela Rayner said: "tuition fees was a labour market Policy - have you apologized for him as well?"

Reality Check : It is true that they were first introduced under Labour in 1998 and tripled-from £1,000 to £3,000 in 2006.

they were tripled to £9,000 in England under the Conservative/Liberal democratic coalition Government in 2012.

Green Party co-leader, Jonathan Bartley , said: "We are stressed to the threshold of a Mental Health epidemic, is working more hours than ever before. "

Reality Check : the average weekly hours for full-time workers remained largely the same, in The Past 30 years.

In 1992, worked for the average person 38. 1 hours in comparison to 37. 3 hours in to the latest figures in the year 2019.

On Mental Health , an NHS survey shows that between 1993 and 2014 (The Last year it was made), The Number of 16 - to 64-year-olds) with Mental Health problems in The Last week have increased, from 15. 5% to 18. 9%.
