HIGH school pupils Lucy and Emily Blakeway travelled to Westminster on Wednesday to talk to MPs about issues affecting young people.
The two pupils from George Tomlinson School in Kearsley were due to meet local MP Dr Brian Iddon, Rt Hon Peter Hain MP, leader of the House of Commons as well as an all party group of MPs. The two will be joining 38 other pupils from across the country to give their views on proposals put forward by the modernisation select committee on how to "Connect Parliament with the Public".
The event has been organised by the Hansard Society.
