Jean Lambert, Green MEP for London, will meet with the Greenwich Pensioners’ Forum on Friday 27 October to give a unique insight into the life of an MEP and the workings of the European Parliament.
The Forum will question Jean on her areas of her work and life as a Member of the European Parliament as well as pressing local and European issues at their monthly meeting at Woolwich Town Hall from 11am.
Speaking ahead of the visit, Jean, Co-President of the European Parliament Intergroup on Ageing, said: "I am delighted to be invited to address the Greenwich Pensioners’ Forum on my role as the Green MEP for London. For many people, the workings of the European Parliament and the role of an MEP remain a mystery. I hope that today’s event will help explain some aspects of the decision-making process that takes place between Brussels and the UK and which go on to have an important impact on our day to day lives."
