Local MP Visits Merchant Taylors’ Primary School
Mr Peter Dowd, MP for Bootle, recently visited the primary school to meet the children in an assembly. He talked about life as an MP in the House of Commons and shared some interesting, unusual facts with us. For example, when MPs appear ‘slouched’ it isn’t that they are dozing, but are actually listening to the debate through speakers built into the benches behind. The School Council, representing their classes, then asked Mr Dowd questions about life as an MP.
To finish, a group of junior girls met Mr Dowd over refreshments to speak about an area of particular interest to Mr Dowd, our links with Sierra Leone. Mr Power from MTGS, who is very involved with Sierra Leone, joined us and spoke about his extensive travels and time spent there. The girls shared with Mr Dowd their thoughts about our projects and reflected on how our links had enriched their lives.
A huge thank you to Mr Dowd for spending the morning in school with us. It is a privilege to have met him.
