Local MP David Mundell visited Lockerbie Academy last Friday [3rd Feb]. Mr Mundell was there to speak at a special Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) Assembly organised by one of their students, Adam Wilson.
Commenting after the event, Mr Mundell said: “I was delighted to be invited to Lockerbie Academy by student (and Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament) Adam Wilson, where I spoke to pupils about the work I do in parliament and how I represent my constituents. The students were then given the special task of creating a 'mini campaign' and I was very impressed by the knowledge and enthusiasm shown throughout this special assembly. Some of my colleagues at Westminster could certainly learn a thing or two from them.”
