Parliament tour for students with MP
The group of 20, who have been studying for their GCSEs, were on a visit to London organised by their teacher Mr Conway and given a guided tour of the Palace of Westminster.
Following their tour, the students put questions to Mr Maynard on a range of issues from the outcome of the EU Referendum and the voting age to mental health issues in Blackpool and across the UK.

“I was impressed by the number of students who spoke and I was encouraged by the level of their interest in key issues.”
