I've been to meetings in the Houses of Parliament twice before in one of the committee rooms (actually one was Portcullis House), but never in the HoC gallery itself.
Nothing fancy, just a normal meeting of the Professional Membership body that I belong to and an MP offered to host the meetings there.
I also went to a debate at Westminster Central Hall when I did A-Level Government and Politics, with Dennis Skinner being one of the debaters. Yes, he was very funny.

My first time was when I was doing A levels, one of which was Government and Politics, and we got shown around by Jim Wallace, who was the MP for Orkney and Shetland at the time. It was part of some Liberal Youth day, and we ended the day drinking in Stringfellows with David Steel and David Alton.

I've just asked a friend in the HoL if they can get me a ticket for SKSKC's first PMQs on Wednesday 24th July.
I've never been into the HoC before and figured this would be an awesome way to open my account.
Fingers crossed.
