While David Simmonds, MP for Northwood, Ruislip and Pinner, may be used to facing tough questions in parliament, perhaps none were as vigorous as those posed from pupils in his constituency.
The MP visited pupils from Pinner High School and Haydon as part of the schools’ UK Parliament Week activities.
Inviting questions from pupils, the MP discussed his role, parliamentary processes, the economy, and his motivation to work in politics.
UK Parliament Week is an opportunity for young people to learn more about democracy. Last year, 38 organisations across the constituency signed up to take part, including schools, care homes, and volunteer groups.
Mr Simmonds MP said: “Thank you to the pupils. It was great to see so many young people engaged in politics.”
Haydon School, who also welcomed Lord Michael Hastings of Scarisbrick CBE, shared: “Their visits form part of our commitment to providing enriching, real-world learning opportunities that deepen students’ understanding of government, leadership, and public life in the UK.”
