Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg met with Julian Huppert, MP for Cambridge and Dr Julie Smith, Fellow of Robinson before moving into the College auditorium to take questions from the public.
The visit was part of a nationwide tour called Nick Clegg Meets organised by regional media. The event in Cambridge was arranged by Heart FM.
Nick Milne, Catering & Conference Manager at Robinson said: “It was good to welcome Nick Clegg back to his old College – I understand he even made a detour to see the room he had when he was a student here!
“We were delighted to host the visit and our auditorium provided the perfect setting for the Q&A session which was well attended by members of the public”.
