Baroness Young to visit school in Milton Keynes
A spokesman for the school said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to interact with someone who knows the parliamentary system inside out, as it can sometimes seem far removed from their daily lives.”
The visit was arranged through the Lord Speaker’s “Peers in Schools” programme, which has been running across the UK since 2007 and has so far involved around 75,000 young people.
This continuing outreach programme sends members of the House of Lords into schools and academies and colleges across the country to give talks in support of the citizenship curriculum.
