Bayley explains his role to politics pupils
8:33am Tuesday 13th May 2008
CITY of York MP Hugh Bayley went back to school when he talked to York College pupils about politics.
The Labour politician delivered a 20-minute talk to youngsters studying for their A-levels in government and politics.
The pupils heard him talk about a variety of issues facing MPs, including how they vote in the House of Commons and how they contribute to the work of the European Parliament.
Mr Bayley said: "Politics affects everyone, whether you like it or not. It was a political decision to build this new college and the Government provided £20 million to make it happen."
