After a guided tour of the iconic building, which included visits to the historic Chambers of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Mark met with the students for an informal Q&A session and the young visitors asked a range of interesting and thoughtful questions, including inquiries about the MP's role and whether he had ever met the King.
Following the Q&A, Mark was pleased to present certificates of achievement to each student in recognition of their keen interest and enthusiasm during the visit.

"It was a real pleasure to meet the students from Holt Farm Junior School after their tour of Parliament-and I was very impressed by the quality and range of their questions.
