The House of Lords
This morning, the Post16 students were honoured to welcome Lord Mawson from the House of Lords. He joined the Post16 students as part of their 'External Speaker Programme' which has been running this academic year.
As a Representative of the House of Lords, he explained to the Year 12 students how he rose from a working class background to the ranks of the House of the Lords through his expertise in Business entrepreneurship and his support of the regeneration of the East End of London. He also explained the important role and function that the Lords play in Parliament and Government.
He outlined that the main role was the scrutiny of the detail of potential policy through the expertise of the Lords. He explained that 'the devil is in the detail' of these policies and that success is also ensured by the painstaking scrutiny of every page of documentation and policy. Further, he outlined the need for the economy to grow through investment and business to secure the future for the students.
