PUPILS from a secondary school in the Meon Valley got to see government in action on a tour of Westminister. 

Meon Valley MP Flick Drummond met with nine pupils from Swanmore College and took them on a tour.

The MP spoke to them about what she does and how Parliament works before giving them a chance to ask any questions.

She then took them all to sit in the House of Commons’ public gallery and watch Treasury questions with the Chancellor speaking ahead of the Autumn Statement.

“It was a pleasure to meet with Swanmore pupils and staff and show them around Westminster and talk a little about what I do to represent Meon Valley,” said Flick.

“It is so important young people get a firm understanding of how our democracy works and to see where it happens too. These students were very interested and asked some good questions.”
