On Wednesday 13th April 2016, MP for South Leicestershire, Alberto Costa, greeted children and staff from Millfield L.E.A.D Academy during their tour of Parliament.
The group of children who are currently serving as School Councillors, were taken on a tour, which included both the House of Commons and House of Lords. After the tour, Alberto met with students in Westminster Hall to discuss their tour and answer questions.
Mr Costa said, "The children told me they thoroughly enjoyed their tour, which was great to hear. It is important to raise awareness of Parliament and its functions with people of all ages, though particularly with younger people to ensure they know of its importance.
I look forward to visiting Millfield in the near future to see their school and meet other children and members of staff."
