Speaker’s Parliamentary Placements Scheme

Speaker’s Parliamentary Placements Scheme 2012-2013

The Speaker’s Parliamentary Placements Scheme is an initiative set up by Rt Hon Hazel Blears MP, Eric Ollerenshaw OBE MP and Jo Swinson MP with strong support from the Speaker of the House of Commons. The Social Mobility Foundation administrates the scheme.

We want to encourage people from diverse backgrounds across the UK who wouldn’t normally feel that they could get a foot in the door of parliament to apply for the Speaker’s Parliamentary Placements scheme to get a taste of working in politics.

If you are an MP or a Parliamentary Assistant thinking of hosting one of this year’s successful candidates, please click here.

We have now closed the application for the 2012 – 2013 Scheme and are reviewing applications.

If you have any questions regarding the Speaker’s Parliamentary Placements Scheme, please contact the Social Mobility Foundation
