News Release 10th February 2004THREE SCHOOL CHILDREN FROM LICHFIELD AND BURNTWOOD TO VISIT 10 DOWNING STREETFollowing the initiative started by Norma Major when she was wife of Prime Minister John Major, Cherie Booth QC (wife of Tony Blair) will entertain three lucky students from Lichfield and Burntwood on March 10th in Number 10 Downing Street. As well as meeting Cherie and Michael Fabricant, there will be a tour of Number 10 and possibly even a chance to say 'hello' to the Prime Minister if he is available. Each child will be accompanied by a parent, teacher, or guardian. Prior to the visit to Downing Street, there will also be the opportunity to visit Michael at the House of Commons where he will give them a tour of Parliament. Three local schools were chosen at random and each school has nominated who should join the visit. The three chosen are:- Alex Bastin, aged 10, from St Michael's School, Lichfield Matthew Hoccom, aged 15, from Chase Terrace Technical College, Burntwood Mark Smith, aged 12, from Lichfield Cathedral School. "This will be an enjoyable and stimulating occasion and an opportunity to see the heart of Government at Number Ten Downing Street", says Michael Fabricant. "As we approach a general election, I hope the three students will find it an exciting visit and perhaps see that MPs of all parties really do work together - whatever might be the impression from seeing Prime Minister's Question time on TV." |
