Parliament Week launches later this year. Free events and activities will run across the UK, aiming to build greater awareness, understanding of and engagement with parliamentary democracy.

In Derry/Londonderry, there will be an all day public workshop, presented by members of the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee, including the chairman, Laurence Robertson MP. This event is hosted by the UK Parliamentary Outreach team, who will be joined by the Northern Ireland Assembly's Outreach team to present workshops on both the work of Select Committees and the UK Parliament's scrutiny of legislation.

The event takes place on Thursday 3 November, 10am-3pm, including lunch at the Waterside Theatre, Glendermott Road, Derry/Londonderry, BT47 6BGD.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet members of the committee and the parliamentary outreach team to find out more about how the UK Parliament works and how the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee examines the expenditure, administration and policy of the Northern Ireland Office.
