Would YOU like to interview the International Department's Secretary of State at Parliament?

By nwilliams

We are looking for a small group of children age 10-16 to interview the International Department's Secretary of State at Parliament on Thursday January 20.

You would need to get to Westminster for 9am (with a parent or grown-up if you want!) on Thursday 20 January and would have to pay your own expenses.

This would probably be best for someone who lives near London because you'll have to be there very early in the morning.

If you are interested in this, please email me at Nicola.Williams@firstnews.co.uk.

 

Nic :)

    Wow,Nic's online again!

  • nwilliams wrote on Monday, 10 January 2011 @ 15:55

    Mirri - you will need to ask your parents and ask them to email me. Both you and your sister could go as you are both over 10. I have already emailed the parents of a few children which I know are local-ish. One member has already confirmed, so you may be able to meet each other in real life!

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Monday, 10 January 2011 @ 15:55

    OMG Nic thank you soo much for choosing me to come!!! Nic sent me an email saying that I can go!!! I was so surprised when I got told at school!!

  • Mirri04 (Age 13) wrote on Monday, 10 January 2011 @ 16:25

    My dad says he could take me,but only if it's alright with school.He's going to write a letter explaining it,so hopefully the school will say yes!

  • nwilliams wrote on Monday, 10 January 2011 @ 16:32

    You would have to take a day or a half day off from school Mirri. Your school should be ok with it thought because what it is for.

  • nwilliams wrote on Monday, 10 January 2011 @ 16:34

    Redhorse10 - just meant that I was talking about you, then two seconds later you posted! Mirri - just make sure your dad emails me if you are able to come :)

Then I will have to have a wrist support called a splint (it has a metal bar going through the back so your movement is partly restricted, but you can take it off). It'd be great to meet you too, Laurcool!! By the way, excuse my punctuation and grammar because it's a bit hard to type!

    No, PeaceLove, we've been told it definitely won't be. Nic even knows that!! We're school kids - they can't keep changing it!

  • PeaceLove (Age 12) wrote on Thursday, 24 February 2011 @ 17:21

    Mirri04 - If you can't make this one, we have another one on Monday. I have emailed your parents the details.

  • PeaceLove (Age 12) wrote on Friday, 25 February 2011 @ 11:15

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Friday, 25 February 2011 @ 19:04

    That's a shame Mirri - I was really looking forward to meeting you!

  • nwilliams wrote on Saturday, 26 February 2011 @ 16:45

    There will be plenty more chances for everyone to come - we are going to try and do lots more of these in the future. Nic :)

  • nwilliams wrote on Saturday, 26 February 2011 @ 16:46

    Henry e/ Henry 2 (he has two usernames!) will be coming Monday now too. He is one of the very first members who I remember when I started work here, and always writes very funny articles!

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Saturday, 26 February 2011 @ 17:45

    So is someone taking Mirri's place on Friday then?

  • chocdragon (Age 12) wrote on Saturday, 26 February 2011 @ 18:15

    Is there any chance that I could take Mirri's place on Friday? :)

  • amani28 (Age 11) wrote on Sunday, 27 February 2011 @ 15:05

    Nic, are you online?

  • nwilliams wrote on Monday, 28 February 2011 @ 17:26

    chocdragon - we don't work Saturdays, so if you post questions then, we can't answer them until Monday evenings (Mondays are our busiest days!). I'm afraid that we have enough people for Friday, but there will be lots more chances to do things like this, so don't worry! :)

  • Mirri04 (Age 13) wrote on Monday, 28 February 2011 @ 17:26

    Oh,I can come!Is it too late?:-P

  • Mirri04 (Age 13) wrote on Thursday, 3 March 2011 @ 15:24

    Oh not again,it's been postponed!I definitely CANNOT make this one.:(

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Thursday, 3 March 2011 @ 16:04

    It got cancelled again!! It's a real shame because I was looking forward to it lots! I know it isn't Nic's fault but it's a real shame! I just hope it doesn't happen again. :|

  • PeaceLove (Age 12) wrote on Thursday, 3 March 2011 @ 18:34

    I thought it might have been postponed again! (Not trying to be negative). How come it keeps getting cancelled? :)

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Thursday, 3 March 2011 @ 18:45

    Oh no!! Mirri, I was so looking forward to meet you! So that means that Ahmed can't come doesn't it (as she's your sister)?

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Thursday, 3 March 2011 @ 19:23

    Are you busy then? :| On the bright side at least it's not completely cancelled! :)

  • Mirri04 (Age 13) wrote on Thursday, 3 March 2011 @ 19:55

    I know it's not the fault of First News,but it's such a shame such bad news had to come.I was really looking forward to spending my birthday at Parliament,and now I can't.:(

  • nwilliams wrote on Friday, 4 March 2011 @ 10:33

    Because he had to go to Libya because of the crisis there. They didn't know that he was going until the last minute.

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Friday, 4 March 2011 @ 14:14

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Friday, 4 March 2011 @ 15:50

    At least I can do more research!!

  • sweetpea (Age 11) wrote on Friday, 4 March 2011 @ 16:38

    ....Sighs.... :( I had a feeling the same as peacelove that it might be postponed again. (I know it is bad to think that way but it is the 4th time? Is it?) Oh well see you then.

  • Mirri04 (Age 13) wrote on Friday, 4 March 2011 @ 21:22

    Okay, that's your opinion. I mean, where I am in England's not boring, but of course you meant where you lived. :)

  • PeaceLove (Age 12) wrote on Wednesday, 9 November 2011 @ 10:31

    No, not where I lived, I've travelled all over England and all of it's boring, to me anywhere I s'pose.:))

  • redhorse10 (Age 14) wrote on Saturday, 19 November 2011 @ 10:50
