The issue of internet privacy was up for debate at Burnham Grammar School on Monday with MP Fiona Mactaggart.
About 60 Year 10 and 12 students joined the new member of the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament for the discussion.
The pupils grilled the MP for Slough about whether the government can be trusted with deciding the line between privacy and security and to what extent personal privacy should be sacrificed for the sake of national security.
"Ms Mactaggart told us she had started with definite opinions but as her work on the committee has progressed her views have changed and nothing is as black and white as it seems," said Azure Jamali (ok), 15.
"I think it is really important that my generation’s opinions are listened to and we are part of the decision-making process."
