Michael Fabricant was closely questioned by sixth formers at Chasetown
Specialist Sports College when he visited the School earlier today
(Friday 6th March).

Michael says "After telling the students about my work as an MP, they
fired questions at me. They ranged from the problems of savers who have
seen their income slashed over the last few month to the Iraqi War and
the prospects for peace in the middle east. Much concern was also
expressed over the lack of shopping facilities in Burntwood and the fear
of house building on green fields near Hammerwich. Disgust was also
expressed over the closure of Hammerwich hospital – a view which I
share. It was a hugely stimulating conversation. And it was a real
pleasure to meet the students and their teachers." Michael also had a
tour of the School and its excellent sports facilities with headteacher:
Bernice Astling.
