Every year Mel welcomes pupils from schools across Central Devon to Parliament, helping teachers to organise fun and interesting tours around Parliament and then meeting personally with the pupils to talk about the role of MPs and to answer any questions.
To make a booking for an educational visit, please visit https://learning.parliament.uk/en/session-workshop/workshops-and-tours. All bookings are made by phone, one school term in advance, on a given date and a travel subsidy is available to state schools which could cover up to 75% of travel costs.
To make sure Mel is available to meet with the pupils please contact Mel's Westminster Office.

The walking tour of the Palace of Westminster includes -
- Westminster Hall, the ancient hall at the heart of the Palace where Parliament first sat and where many historic events have taken place
- The House of Commons, including the Speaker's Chair and the famous green benches and the 'lobbies' where MPs actually vote
- The House of Lords, including the Royal Throne
- The Queen's Robing Room, Royal Gallery and many other fascinating parts of the Palace of Westminster
Please note that tours are very popular and places are limited so generally have to be booked about six months in advance. For more information visit www.parliament.uk/visiting.
