Just the ticket: Redditch MP restarts coach trips to Parliament

Redditch Editorial 23rd May, 2022   0

IT’S all aboard to see the UK Parliament in action as Redditch MP Rachel Maclean’s Westminster coach trips return.

After a two year absence due to the pandemic, the popular coach trips return in 2022 with new dates announced.

Tours are currently scheduled for:

Friday, June 17 – including a Q&A session with Mrs Maclean and a professional guided tour around Parliament.




Friday, July 1 – no Q&A session on this trip, but there will be extra time to look around Westminster and professional guided tour around Parliament.

Residents will get the chance to see both the House of Commons’ and House of Lords’ chambers (dependent on availability), and visit the famous central lobby and ancient Westminster Hall where King Charles I was sentenced to death and which has hosted many famous visitors including US Presidents, the Pope and Nelson Mandela.


“Having run 11 of these trips since 2018 I know how popular they are, and I am delighted to be able to welcome constituents back into the Palace of Westminster after a gap of far too long,” said Mrs Maclean.

“It presents a unique opportunity to see behind the scenes of our wonderful and historic Parliament building – to be able to walk around the House of Commons chamber and visit the magnificent House of Lords where the Queen’s Speech is delivered.

“Everyone who has been on one of these trips – without exception – has thoroughly enjoyed their day.”

There will also be other trips in September and October and into next year.
