Local schools can book free tours of Parliament via the Parliamentary Education Service.

School visits to Parliament consist of an educational tour of the Palace of Westminster and a choice of workshop. There is also a twenty minute slot for students to speak to their MP and ask any questions or raise any queries.

Schools in Cannock Chase are also eligible for a transport subsidy to help with transport costs. This is 50% of receipted travel costs, up to a maximum claim of £800.

All information schools need to arrange a visit is available at http://www.parliament.uk/education.
