The National Children’s Parliament was called to order for the first time on 29th October 2021. This online event involved a world record 270 participants, all aged below 12, who got an introductory message from our prime Minister the Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson and the House of commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

The event was held in honour of Sir David Amess with David Davies MP taking his place alongside the Speaker, Peter Spencer-Lane (Headmaster of Saint Pierre School). The child MPs primarily debated aspects of climate change but also considered technology, the COVID response and Fairtrade. The parliament lasted around 90 minutes and illustrated powerfully the passionate, eloquent, informed, and enlightened voice of this generation.

The last live debate took place in a customised Microsoft Teams debating chamber on the 25th July 2023 at 5pm. The topic of debate was the prominent question of “Will artificial intelligence help or destroy humanity?”
