Guernsey teen to represent islanders in Parliament

A teenager from Guernsey is representing the island at the Youth Parliament Sitting in the House of Commons.

Eva, who is 16 years old, will have the chance to speak for two minutes discussing what "Jobs, the Economy and Benefits: Cost of Living, employment and poverty", means for Guernsey.

More than 200 young people will be attending the "Make Your Mark" event, after students across the secondary schools had the opportunity to vote on multiple topics.

This is the second time Crown Dependencies have been invited to this event.

Eve said: "I'm nervous but the closer it gets, the more excited I am.

"There's so much history in that building, so to get to be a part of that is amazing."

The event is being held on Friday, and would be broadcast live on Parliament TV.
