Children at an Aylesbury Vale school have had the chance quiz Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow.
After researching facts about Mr Bercow, pupils at Brookmead School in Ivinghoe also revealed to him facts about his life and career of which he was unaware.

Staff and children had used interactive whiteboards to research some facts about Mr Bercow's life and career, which were revealed in a presentation during morning assembly.

One of the more unusual facts the children unearthed was that Mr Bercow once held a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for having asked the longest ever written question – 10,000 words long – something that the Speaker himself was unaware of.

After presenting some of the children with awards for outstanding classwork, Mr Bercow concluded his visit by joining some of the children rehearsing with the school choir.

Headteacher Bob Thomson praised the staff and children who had worked hard to ensure that Mr Bercow had an interesting and enjoyable time at the school.

It is what John Bercow didn't tell the children that Buckingham voters are interested in!...for example: Why did he not tell Buckingham constituents that he had been planning for several years to become Speaker of the House of Commons? Or why did he change his political values from traditional conservative to 'ultra liberal'; whilst remaining in one of the safest Conservative seats in England?
