On Monday 3 December, students studying Law and Politics at the NULC 6th Form Centre departed for their annual trip to London. Highlights over the three days included a guided tour of Parliament and the Supreme Court; meeting with two local MP’s and visits to the Natural History Museum, London Eye and London Dungeons.
Some of the best moments came during the students ‘question and answer’ session with Tristram Hunt, MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central, and Paul Farrelly, MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme.
After describing a typical Parliamentary day, Dr Hunt was asked a strong opening question: “What’s your favourite oatcake filling?!” This was followed with an exceptionally astute question regarding local representation: “You’re not from Stoke, are you?”
With topics discussed including welfare reform and taxation issues, the NULC students proved themselves a force to be reckoned with, even in Parliaments haughty chambers.
Chris McQuillan, Lecturer in History and Politics at NULC, said: “Overall, the trip was a roaring success, and we are looking forward to another successful trip in 2013.”
