WORCESTER MP Mike Foster was going back to school today to help children at Bishop Perowne with their citizenship classes.

Mr Foster, a former teacher himself, will be discussing with Year 11 students how Parliament works, and the job of an MP.

He will then set up a debate on controversial plans to introduce identity cards, in which Mr Foster will take the role of Commons Speaker Michael Martin as chairman.

This will be followed by a Question Time-style discussion including other local councillors.
