Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden, visited Buxted Primary School to speak to the Year 6 class about her role as Member of Parliament for Wealden, and how laws are made in Westminster.
The class has been studying the topic “Who Rules?”, which covers subjects such as the monarchy, democratic processes in the UK, Parliament, Government, and the Magna Carta. The pupils have quizzed Nusrat on her duties as Member of Parliament for Wealden, her responsibilities as Minister of State at the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, her journey to Westminster, and on the process of passing Bills through the Commons and the Lords.
The class also engaged Nusrat in their views and insightful questions on how to run to be an MP, local issues impacting Wealden, climate change and how to achieve zero-emissions transport, including in space and maritime.
Nusrat Ghani said: “It was a pleasure to visit Buxted Primary school and speak to the fantastic Year 6 pupils about my role and responsibilities as Wealden MP. I regularly visit Wealden schools and it is always inspiring to see how engaged and passionate our young Wealden residents are about making a positive difference in the world. I would like to thank Year 6 teacher Mr Bryce for preparing our young generation so well for the future and I look forward to visiting Buxted Primary School again soon.”
