The Lord Speaker, Lord Fowler, said:

'Parliament Week has been going from strength to strength since it began in 2011, and with over 250 events this year up and down the country, it promises to be a great chance to get involved, wherever you live. The effectiveness of the work of Parliament relies on the engagement of the public, and I’m delighted to see such a wide-ranging and diverse array of opportunities for people to connect with the work of both Houses. Reflecting on, debating and learning about Parliament - past, present and future - is at the heart of all these events and I hope as many people as possible will seize this opportunity.'
