Description

Join writer and comedian Meera Syal for Episode 6 to hear how you can get involved in your UK Parliament.

Guests include Helen Jones MP, Chair of the House of Commons Petitions Select Committee, and Maria Lester, whose petition calling for increased funding for brain tumour research ultimately led to Government action.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
