Hannah White, ten, asks MP Bob Spink a question with teacher Kirsteen Newell, right, and her colleagues at Kingston Primary School in the background
CASTLE Point MP Bob Spink admitted he was relieved to have survived some tough questions from pupils at a Benfleet primary school.
Mr Spink faced the grilling at a special event held at Kingston Primary School.
The MP said the questions were as tough as any he had faced in the House of Commons.
He said: “I’m sure there are a few future MPs among those pupils.
“The questions were varied and showed an understanding of local and national issues you would not expect from pupils of their age.”
