MP in Hot Seat

Conservative MP, Mark Prisk seemed quite relaxed in the face of an astute, no-nonsense audience of College students during the Lunchtime Interview which took place in the Library at the College. Unlike many politicians, he listened to the questions which were posed, and proceeded to answer them clearly and to the point. He fielded a wide variety of questions on topics such as: how to engage the younger UK citizens in politics; what the Tories would do if Labour were to gain a third term; help for Carers coping with the long-term care of sick and/or elderly relatives (a growing problem with our aging population); his reasons for being a Tory; University Tuition fees (the Tories suggest loans instead); ASBOs (Anti-Social Behaviour Orders), and what he thinks of how to deal with potential terrorists and indefinite house arrest.
