Stephen virtually met with Oasis Academy Silvertown for a Q&A workshop about his role as the Member of Parliament for East Ham.
The group consisted of three year eight classes at Oasis. They asked questions such as “how did you become an MP?” and “do you like your job?” Stephen described his journey to becoming an MP and the work he does in both East Ham and Parliament.
During the session, the students also raised questions on issues such as crime and the environment. Stephen expressed his concerns on these important matters and explained his plans to tackle local violence and climate change.
Speaking after the workshop, Stephen said “I enjoyed meeting with the students of Oasis Academy Silvertown and answering their questions. They are clearly enthusiastic about politics and social issues in Newham. I thank them for their interest and look forward to visiting the school soon.”
