Whiteford Meets Macduff Youngsters In Run Up To Parliament Trip

Banff & Buchan MP Dr Eilidh Whiteford has spoken warmly of her time at Macduff Primary School, after meeting with P7 and P6/7 pupils on Friday.

Dr Whiteford gave a short talk and took questions from the youngsters, many of whom will be visiting Westminster later this year. The questions covered topics as diverse as an MP’s day-to-day duties, the upcoming referendum, Dr Whiteford’s previous jobs, and how to become a Member of Parliament.

Speaking after the event, Dr Whiteford said:

“It was a pleasure to meet with pupils and staff to take the opportunity to discuss life as an MP. The pupils had excellent questions to ask, and the discussion was a lively and engaging one.

“It was also, of course, a pleasure to be shown around my own former primary school - I look forward to my next visit!”
