Bentham primary school children quiz Julian Smith MP in the Parliamentary Education Centre
BENTHAM primary school children had an early start for their visit to the Houses of Parliament in London.
The year six, 10 and 11 year old pupils, in their last year at Bentham Community Primary School, spent time in the Parliamentary Education Centre, a purpose built education facility for teaching young people about parliament and democracy.
The pupils, who had left school at 6am for the visit, also met up with Skipton MP Julian Smith.
Mr Smith said: "It was a pleasure to meet the students and teachers from Bentham Community Primary School. We spoke about current affairs and they had some excellent questions for me about the work I do as their MP."
