Welcoming Bedford UpRising to Parliament
Posted by admin | Filed under Bedford & Kempston, Parliament
Richard welcomed seven Bedford UpRisers to the House of Commons last week, giving them a tour of the Palace followed by a Q&A session and an opportunity to sit in on his Westminster Hall debate on a Future Fund for public sector pensions.
Over the course of the day, the UpRisers got an understanding of how government and parliament fit together as well as the chance to understand parliamentary scrutiny by sitting in on a Westminster Hall debate and a select committee.
Richard is an ambassador for Bedford UpRising – a leadership programme for talented young adults aged 19-25 which aims to equip young adults with the life skills, experience and confidence to change their communities for the better.
