I've spent a lot of this week shooting the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association's 4th Governance Seminar. Around 50 MPs from around the Commonwealth have been visiting Westminster and City Hall to share ideas on governance. Next week they are off to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Brussels to continue their seminar.
There was lots of great discussion going on. Simon Hogart from The Guardian and Norman Smith from the BBC gave a fascinating talk about the influence of the media in government and how you can't always believe what you see on 24 hour news channels (not to mention blogs!).
Another highlight was hearing the youth choir from Anglesey. Having won a national competition they performed at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday. The picture shows them with the Speaker, John Bercow; Leader of the House of Commons, Harriet Harman and Albert Owen, MP for Anglesey.
The bed pictured is in the Speaker’s residence within the Palace of Westminster. This is the bed in which a new monarch sleeps on the night before their coronation at Westminster Abbey.
