Luke Hall MP welcomed residents of Frampton Cotterell to the Houses of Parliament on his 30th exclusive group tour to Westminster this week.
The group travelled by coach on Monday from the village straight to the Houses of Parliament, where they received a fully guided tour of both the House of Lords and House of Commons and exclusive access to the Queen’s Robing Rooms and the Royal Gallery.
After a brief stop for some food and a look around the Parliamentary Gift Shop, residents attended a Q&A session with Luke, followed by pictures in Westminster Hall by the 41ft tall Christmas Tree.
As well as fielding questions about life as an MP, Luke and residents discussed the importance of recycling and his recent campaign success bringing the Soft Plastic Recycling Scheme to South Gloucestershire. Resident’s echoed Luke’s sentiment to continue the roll-out to every town and village in South Gloucestershire. Luke also talked about the extra £2bn investment the Chancellor has announced in our schools, and the importance of receiving our fair share of the new money for schools in South Gloucestershire.
Speaking on the 30th tour milestone, Luke said: “It was a pleasure to welcome residents of Frampton Cotterell to Westminster. I was very grateful to have the chance to answer some important questions and share my experience of being our local MP. These tours are a way of ensuring everyone in our community can visit the heart of our democracy.”
“This marked our 30th tour and I am looking forward to organising many more tours for 2023 and hope to get around every town, village and hamlet in the constituency.”
