Chloe Smith MP welcomes students from Hillside Avenue Primary School, Thorpe St Andrew to Parliament

Member of Parliament for Norwich North, Chloe Smith, faced a tough pre-election grilling last week from a group of students who had travelled from Norwich to learn more about Parliament and politics. Although the Year 6 students are still several years away from voting in their first general election, they came armed with questions for Chloe about being an MP, working in Parliament and making Norwich a better place for young people.

 

Since becoming an MP, Chloe has encouraged school groups to visit her in Westminster and learn about Government and politics.

 

Chloe commented:

 

“It was a pleasure to welcome the students from Hillside Avenue Primary School. They came ready with some tough questions- perfect for getting prepared for the upcoming election campaign!

 

“It’s vital that our young people know that Parliament has a huge impact on their lives and that one day, they will have the ability to shape the Governments and politics of the future.”
