This week Winchester's British Culture and History Minor had a very special visit... from a Lord! And not just a Lord, but a member of the House of Lords, the Upper Chamber in the British government. Lord John Shipley gave an entertaining and interesting presentation on his life in the house of lords and then was put to the test with an exciting half an hour of questions and answers from Discovery students. Each student went away with a special House of Lords 'pack' including and mousemat and book on the history of the house of lords. The students learnt a great deal about British politics and the issues concerning Britain today, and their questions gave Lord Shipley a few things to think about as well!
