Students hungry for answers grill Local MP

On Monday 31 October 2011, 20 A Level students from Bracknell & Wokingham College studying Government & Politics visited the Houses of Parliament, and got the opportunity to have their questions answered by local Bracknell MP, Dr Phillip Lee.  

The students’ questions ranged from basic enquiries into Dr Lee’s career and his views on the European Union, to his thoughts on local provisions for young people and his opinions on the number and condition of existing facilities.

The event, which was designed to encourage young people to address issues they find important, was a great success, and Dr Lee later commented:

“It was great to meet students from Bracknell & Wokingham College. They all showed a genuine interest in politics and appeared impressed by the Parliamentary Estate buildings. I greatly enjoyed their tough questioning.”
