PEERS IN SCHOOLS PROGRAMME - VISIT TO ST MARY'S, WORCESTER


3 February 2012: Visited St Mary’s School, Worcester where I talked to the girls about the work and role of the House of Lords. This was followed by a question and answer session on various aspects of the parliamentary process and life at Westminster generally.

The visit was arranged through the Lord Speaker’s Peers in Schools programme, which has been running across the UK since 2007 and has so far involved around 30,000 young people. This continuing outreach programme sends members of the House of Lords into schools and colleges across the country to give talks in support of the citizenship curriculum.
