Watch: When Malnick met the ministers...

Pi News Editor Edward Malnick (UCL English) interviewed Foreign Office Minister Ivan Lewis and Armed Forces Minister Bill Rammells on 15 March about 'Why we are in Afghanistan'. 'It isn't every day that a student journalist is offered an interview with two government ministers. In fact, during my time as politics editor of UCL's official student paper Pi , I had a number of requests for such meetings turned down. For this reason I approached the telephone call on 15 March from the Foreign Office with a degree of caution. It came the day before Foreign Office Minister Ivan Lewis and Armed Forces Minister Bill Rammell were due to talk to UCL students on 'Why we are in Afghanistan' as part of a campus tour. We were the fourth stop. During the previous week I had contacted the Foreign Office for more details about the tour and asked the Conservatives for their views.
