Julian welcomed students from Skipton Water Street Community Primary School to Parliament recently, to talk about his role as their local MP and answer their questions.
This followed a busy afternoon during which the students were given a tour around the Houses of Parliament and took part in an interactive workshop in the Education Centre.
Julian spoke about what it has been like to represent the people of Skipton and Ripon as their MP since 2010, with one student kindly volunteering that they and their family had previously been helped by him. Pupils also had an opportunity to ask Julian questions, ranging from had he met the King to what made him decide to become an MP.
The Education Service in Parliament enables over 40,000 students and teachers to explore the Palace of Westminster and the heart of our democracy first-hand every year, arranging tours and dynamic workshops for all age groups.
These take place free of charge and a travel subsidy of up to 75% is offered to schools who take part. Julian would encourage any teachers or students who are interested to arrange a visit for their school or class. More information can be found at http://www.parliament.uk/educationcentre
