I OFFER FREE TOURS OF PARLIAMENT TO AYLESBURY CONSTITUENCY RESIDENTS.

Are you an Aylesbury constituent?

Want to take a tour of the Mother of All Parliaments with Laura Kyrke-Smith MP?

If so, fill in this short form to express your interest in taking a free tour of Parliament. We will be in touch when spaces are available. 

The walking tour of the Palace of Westminster includes –

  • Westminster Hall, the ancient hall at the heart of the Palace where Parliament first sat and where many historic events have taken place.

  • The House of Commons, including the Speaker’s Chair and the famous green benches and the ‘lobbies’ where MPs actually vote.

  • The House of Lords, including the Royal Throne.

  • The King’s Robing Room, Royal Gallery and many other fascinating parts of the Palace of Westminster.

Tours are led by a professional guide and last around 75+mins, plus additional time at the end for Laura to meet tour attendees if her schedule allows.

Please note that tours are very popular and places are limited so tours will have to be booked a few months in advance.

I HAVE also SET UP A SCHOOL TRIPS TO PARLIAMENT SCHEME FOR AYLESBURY CONSTITUENCY STUDENTS.

I want every young person to know they have a powerful voice that they can use to make change.

That's why I've set up a school trip to Parliament scheme for Aylesbury constituency students so they can learn more about our democracy and get inspired.

All schools and colleges are welcome to book a tour or workshop that will end with a "Q&A with your MP” session* directly via the UK Parliament Education Centre.

Make sure you ask your school to get involved. If you're an education provider, you can find more information about the opportunities available here.

AYLESBURY CONSTITUENCY residents are entitled to watch parliament in session.

Members of the public can see the House of Commons chamber in action by sitting in the Public Gallery. It is located on a level above the floor of the Commons and looks down onto it. The Public Gallery is open to the public when the House is sitting, and is closed to the public when the House is in recess.

I receive many requests to watch Prime Ministers Questions (PMQs). Unfortunately, I receive an extremely limited number of Prime Minister’s Questions tickets so I am unable to provide tickets on most occasions.

However, if there is a particular Departmental questions session you would like to attend – such as Education questions or Foreign and Commonwealth Office questions – let me know what session you’d like to attend and I can get this arranged for you. It is far easier to get hold of tickets for these sessions and they are just as interesting as PMQs. To see what sessions are coming up, please see the “What’s On” page on the UK Parliament website.

As an alternative to making ticket arrangements, visitors may join the public queue outside St. Stephen’s Entrance. A wait of 1 or 2 hours or more is usually common during the afternoons. Generally speaking, after ticket holders have left the Gallery and the afternoon queue has subsided, there is not normally too much pressure on places in the Gallery, except during controversial debates. Visitors who wish to minimise waiting times are therefore advised to arrive at about 13.00 or later. You can also watch public select committee meetings.
