Tonight I welcomed members of the St Andrew's Escape Group, Hornchurch, to parliament as part of their busy social programme. I hosted the group for a question and answer session about local issues and my work in parliament, before taking them on a personal tour of the Houses of Parliament.
Escape meet in St Andrew’s Small Hall or external locations on the 1st and 3rd Monday evenings of each month from 20:30 to undertake a varied programme of events, such as culinary evenings, bowling, film nights and guest speakers. They also support parish events and run their own Escape evenings.
