I was delighted to welcome St Joseph’s Middle School from Corbridge to Parliament. Pupils enjoyed a full tour of both Houses of Parliament and the wider parliamentary estate before sitting down for an interactive Q&A seminar with myself at the Parliamentary Education Centre.
Pupils at the school are clearly engaged with politics and history, and I want to pay tribute to Head of History Mr Hudson for all of the hard work he puts in and for giving the children the opportunity to experience the heart of democracy for themselves in Westminster.
The Houses of Parliament don’t belong to MPs, they are yours! If you are interested in visiting, please email me at guy.opperman@parliament.uk
