Twenty Oxfordshire schoolchildren grilled MPs on play and childcare in the House of Commons.
The youngsters, aged eight to 14, represented the Oxfordshire Play Association, which promotes play and childcare in Oxford. They were invited to go to Parliament yesterday as VIPs by the Kids' Clubs Network.
At Westminster, they asked questions and gave presentations to MPs including Caroline Flint, David Amess and Bob Russell. And play association staff ensured it would be a day to remember by including a visit to a fun park beforehand.
Oxfordshire Play Association director Wendy Foster said: "Finally we are listening to the voices of the young people about their views on play and childcare more seriously."
