We would like to ensure all our Churches and people right across our area, young and old, have a chance to put a question to Greg Clark MP and/or to Dr Ruth Valerio.
For this reason, when you register, please could you let us know your Church (if applicable), your age bracket, and a question you'd like to ask, and we will ensure as many and as wide a range of questions as possible get selected on the night.
