Today local MP Sheryll Murray was pleased to meet with children from Sir Geffery’s Primary School in Landrake who visited Parliament as part of an Educational trip to London.
The school did a visit to the Palace of Westminster and in particular went in to see both the House of Lords and House of Commons chambers.
As part of their visit they were able to meet with Sheryll in Parliament and to ask a number of questions about her job. Sheryll commented, “I was pleased to welcome Sir Robert Geffery School from Landrake to Parliament. It was really good to see two teams from the school complete some challenges set by the Parliamentary Education Service after their Tour of the Palace of Westminster. I was delighted to take part in a Question and Answer session with them. I hope they enjoyed the visit to the Tower of London afterwards.”
Sheryll explained about the educational visits, “It has been a real pleasure to welcome so many primary school children from the Constituency to Parliament over the past couple of weeks.
“St Mellion and St Dominic visited last week and had the chance to see both the House of Commons and House of Lords Chambers before catching up with me in the historic Westminster Hall. I really hope that they enjoyed their time in London.
“Torpoint Nursery and Infant School Council visited the Speaker’s Apartments to receive their award for their fantastic project which resulted in stopping ships from carrying PIB which killed so many sea birds last year. I am so proud of the children and staff for the hard work they put into this campaign and was pleased to be able to help this cause by lobbying the Minister who secured international agreement to ban the carriage of PIB by sea.”
