A GROUP of GCSE pupils from Ruskin Sports and Languages College in Crewe met local MP Edward Timpson during a visit to the Houses of Parliament.
Mr Timpson chatted with the pupils after their tour of Parliament last week.
Following the tour, teacher Michael Vitalis said: "Everybody from Ruskin thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the Houses of Parliament and the students especially enjoyed the question and answer session with Edward.
"They found it really interesting, and thought it was a great opportunity to discuss the things that are important to them with their MP.”
Mr Timpson said: “I always enjoy meeting young people from Crewe and Nantwich, especially when they come down to Parliament and I get a chance to explain some of the things I do during the week.
“Whenever I meet people of this age I am always amazed by how interested and well-informed they are, it completely dispels the negative stereotypes that all our kids are apathetic.”
