My First Visit to The Houses of Parliament

Yesterday I had the great pleasure to be one of the judges for Peter Lilley MP, for his annual Hitchin & Harpenden Schools Debate, which was held in two Commons committee rooms. The standard of debate by all schools was extraordinary. The overall winner of the event was St George’s School.

It was quite a day and very enjoyable except maybe the Victoria tube issues making it difficult to get to the Commons in good time.
