IMMIGRATION and the EU were two of the topics political representatives were quizzed on by pupils at Clevedon School.
A Question Time-style event was organised by sixth former, Michael Stock, in the hope of encouraging more of his fellow students to vote in the next general election and to raise awareness of some of the issues that could affect them.
Representatives of the five main political parties, Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, the Green Party and UKIP sat on the panel.
They were also asked for their views on the importance of voting, university tuition fees and whether life jail terms should be scrapped.
