I am always pleased to welcome constituents and local schools and groups to Westminster. Many constituents, school groups and community organisations have visited The Houses of Parliament since I was elected in 2005.
The Palace of Westminster is a truly stunning building with a very rich history. Official parliamentary tours offer an enjoyable and highly informative way to see this wonderful building.
If you are a constituent, a school in my constituency or a local community organisation and would like to arrange a visit to The Houses of Parliament please contact my office.
