Gateshead Youth Assembly Life Routes Group visited the Houses of Parliament yesterday as guests of Dave Anderson MP for Blaydon. "We had a great time everyone should go there it is really interesting" said one of the group. "We even went in the House of Commons and saw where everyone sits. It is much smaller than I thought it was." "I felt honoured to be allowed to go but then they said it was ours, even the Queen isn't allowed in"
Contact your MP and ask for a tour it is better than you think.
