A member of the House of Lords visited a high school to talk to students about politics.
Lord Fuller OBE visited Aylsham High School as part of the Learn with the Lords programme.
He spoke to students about the House of Lords and his role in it, as well as his journey into politics.
He also discussed the role the House of Lords has in passing laws, holding the government to account, and making recommendations to the government on a range of topics through its committee work.
He then answered questions from students in years 9 to 11 on current affairs and local issues.
One of the main topics discussed was how to improve the local area and how housing construction in Norfolk impacts local infrastructure.
Lord Fuller explained the importance of planning for the future, taking into consideration the changing social demographics, with the need for many different types of accommodation, and the right for people to have a choice about whether they live in towns or in the countryside.
He also outlined how roof tax operates and how this money is spent by local councils to develop and improve local infrastructure.
Lord Fuller said: "I really enjoyed my time at AHS to try to help Norfolk students make a connection with the power of politics to make a positive change in their lives - both locally and nationally.
"It was inspiring to hear some of the students’ ideas about their local community and their personal plans for the future and I hope that the school might arrange a visit to Parliament where I can help them see how national politics can improve their lives."
