School Visits

Every year, MPs welcome hundreds of schoolchildren to Parliament and I always try to meet visitors from the constituency to talk about the politics and history of Westminster, the work of an MP and local issues.

If you would like to book a tour of the Palace of Westminster, please contact my office.

For more details, such as the best times to arrange a tour of Parliament, please visit www.parliament.uk/visiting/visiting-and-tours/ukvisitors .

Please be aware that tours may need to be booked months in advance.

There are also free educational visits which, in addition to a tour of the Palace, offer children and students the chance to learn more about Parliament through interactive workshops. There is also a travel subsidy available to state schools which could cover some of your travel costs.

To make a booking for an educational visit, please visit www.parliament.uk/education/visiting-parliament
