Welcoming Harvington CofE First School to Parliament

I was delighted to welcome pupils from Harvington CofE First School to Parliament this week. The students impressed with their thoughtful questions and enthusiasm for learning about democracy and how Parliament works.

Helping young people understand that Parliament belongs to them is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

The visit highlighted the importance of engaging young people with our democratic institutions. Schools interested in visiting Westminster can book tours and workshops through the Parliamentary Education Centre, with travel bursaries available to support educational visits.
