Julian Smith MP talks to Bentham Community Primary School pupils
PUPILS from Bentham Community Primary School learnt about the inner workings of parliament on a trip to London.
Year Six students met with Julian Smith, MP for Skipton and Ripon, to visit the Houses of Parliament.
The students, together with their teachers, set off from Bentham at 6am for their journey down to the capital.
Their visit to the Houses of Parliament included a trip to the Parliamentary Education Centre, a purpose-built education facility for teaching young people about parliament and democracy.
Mr Smith said: "It was a pleasure to meet the students and teachers from Bentham Community Primary School. We spoke about current affairs and they had some excellent questions for me about the work I do as their MP."
