Grant Shapps answered questions from some up-and-coming politicians during a visit to a Welwyn Garden City primary school.
During the visit on Friday, May 12, student council members aged between five and 11 at Peartree Primary School sat down with Grant Shapps.
They asked him questions about his career, neighbourhood issues and life as an MP.
The students were elected by their classmates to give them a voice on the school’s vision, projects and events.

Megan Hardy, head of school at Peartree, said: “The children were really excited to meet their MP and they came up with plenty of interesting questions to ask him.
"They were very inspired by his visit, so we may even have a future prime minister among us.”
Grant Shapps also took a tour of Peartree, which has been selected for a major makeover as part of the government’s national School Rebuilding Programme.
