Local MP Caroline Dinenage was delighted to welcome pupils from Haselworth primary school to Westminster yesterday.
The pupils took a tour of the Houses of Parliament and then met Caroline in Westminster Hall where they posed questions to her about the work of an MP and the role of Parliament.
The children visiting Parliament were all Young Governors at their school who meet with their teacher, Mr Thomas-Bond fortnightly to discuss how to continue to improve their school. The pupils will be handing over their positions of power to a new cohort of Young Governors in September. They were keen to use their Q&A session with Caroline as an opportunity to ask for her advice on running for office, so they could pass back the tips back to their classmates.
Commenting on the visit, Caroline said:
“I was delighted to welcome Haselworth primary school pupils to Westminster for a tour of the Houses of Parliament. Many of them told me how much they enjoyed their visit and they had lots of questions for me after their tour. I was really impressed by the enthusiasm and engagement of these Young Governors. ”
