PAUL Keetch put his parliamentary work to one side recently and made a visit to his former secondary school - 30 years after leaving.

The Hereford MP visited Aylestone High School and while there was presented with a framed copy of his final school report, which included a line from his form tutor saying he was "mad on politics, a staunch Liberal and heavily involved locally".

The MP enjoyed a debate on current affairs with pupils Tim Dudley, Dominic Garman, Anna-Therese McGivern and Charlotte Stephens.

"I am delighted to come to the school and really pleased to find four pupils so keenly interested in current affairs and look forward to one of them becoming an MP," said Mr Keetch.
