MP visits Shrivenham Defence Academy

Winchester's MP has linked up with the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, as they gathered at the Shrivenham Defence Academy near Swindon to kick-off this year's course.

MPs and Peers spent time being briefed on the scheme and the work they will undertake over the next 12-months as well hearing directly from senior officers about the current issues facing our armed forces.
