School Council Visit to Westminster
reported by Becky Harman and Nicole Mowthorpe
The whole of Portchester's School Council were invited to the Houses of Parliament to be the guest of Mark Hoban, MP for Fareham. While we were there we were shown around the House of Lords and the House of Commons by a tour guide who told us all about the history of the buildings. We were also shown where the Queen is dressed and prepared for state occasions and the halls she walks through. After the tour we had lunch in the Great Hall Cafe. Later in the afternoon we sat in the public gallery and watched a question time session about work and pensions. It was very interesting to see how Parliament works.
