Liberal Democrat policies were put under the microscope, when an MP hopeful visited Parmiter's School.

Sal Brinton visited the school, in High Elms Lane, Garston, yesterday (Monday) where she was questioned about her position on current affairs and party policy.

Questions from politics students covered subjects including the BNP and Afghanistan.

Ms Brinton said: “It was a real pleasure to visit the school and have such a broad ranging interview with the students. They had researched both the Liberal Democrats (nationally and locally) and my background.

“It was encouraging to see a passion for democracy amongst the sixth formers.”
