Question Time returned to Runshaw today (unofficially!), as our students joined in the live debate in front of a panel of politicians and student representatives in the Amanda Roocroft Theatre.
The annual event was hosted by our Social Science department, Politics Think Tank, Scholars and Student Council on Friday 14th February. Students in the audience had the opportunity to quiz politicians including our MP for South Ribble Paul Foster, the leader of Chorley Borough Council Cllr Alistair Bradley, leader of South Ribble Borough Council Cllr Jacky Alty and South Ribble conservative Alan Platt, in a Question Time format.
George Holding did a fantastic job hosting the debate as our official Chair, along with student panelists Beau Stirrup and Katie Walker, all who are in their second year studying A Level Politics.
The debate included questions on Brexit, the prison service, HS2, Heathrow’s third runway and the economy, topical and fiercely passionate as the actual programme including – thanks to our students for their eager participation!
