It was fantastic to welcome 3rd Portchester Sea Scouts to Downing Street and Parliament.
The group of 13 youngsters from 3rd Portchester Sea Scouts, along with 4 adult volunteers, toured Downing Street and were able to walk up to the door of Number 10 for a photo opportunity.
I was very happy to arrange this special visit and to be able to meet with the scouts on Downing Street to talk about my role as their local MP.
Later on in the day, the group also took part in a tour of the Palace of Westminster where an expert tour guide showed them around the historic surroundings of the House of Commons, House of Lords and Westminster Hall.
I would like to thank Peter Leach and his team of adult volunteers for supporting our local young people in developing lifelong skills as Sea Scouts.
