Today I was joined by Don Foster MP for a surgery on the university campus. Don holds a special student surgery every year to which, like all other Lib Dem public surgeries, people and visit without an appointment to discuss an issue with their elected representatives.

There is already a lot of support for students at Bath university from the Students’ Union for personal issues, so we tend to run the student surgeries slightly differently. This time several students, plus the comment editor of the student newspaper, arrived at the beginning of the surgery for a conversation about the work of an MP and some topical political questions. Those with personal questions were of course seen privately later.

Don gave a surgery with Armand and I in Bathwick about a year ago and we are arranging for another shortly. Full details will be in the next Focus of course!
