The politics department was joined by the Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord McFall for a question and answer session via video link on Thursday 12 March.  Some sixth form and Year 10 pupils were able to ask questions relating to a wide variety of topics including the budget and the effectiveness of parliament being able to hold the government to account.  It was a really enjoyable experience where the pupils were able to actively engage with a current, incredibly knowledgeable member of parliament.  We thank Lord McFall for his time.
