But before smokers head for the ports, this States sitting was an unusual one because the politicians making the radical decision were Year 5 pupils from St Lawrence School.

As part of the programme, all nine- and ten-year-olds will carry out a States visit during this school year. The scheme follows a successful pilot involving d’Auvergne School in the summer term.
