Harrogate pupils visit Houses of Parliament alongside local MP Pupils from two Harrogate secondary schools joined Andrew Jones MP for a visit to the Houses of Parliament. Prefects from Harrogate Ladies College joined Andrew for a tour, whilst St Aidan’s CE High School pupils quizzed him about the issues of the day.
Local schools often visit Parliament and see the historic corridors of the Palace of Westminster and take part in workshops with Parliament’s education team.
These experiences are open to primary and secondary schools and colleges.
During their visit, school pupils also get the chance to meet with Andrew Jones MP and ask questions relating to policy, politics or Parliament itself.
Andrew said:
“It is great to see young people visit Parliament to learn about its history and how to become involved in politics and decision-making.
“There are always interesting and difficult questions and I hope that all those who attend enjoy their visit and leave feeling inspired by our democracy and intrigued by the workings of Parliament.”
Teachers and pupils can find out more about school visits to the House of Parliament by contacting Andrew’s office at andrew.jones.mp@parliament.uk or by calling 01423 529614.
