MP OFFERS SUPPORT FOR LECTURERS AND STUDENTS

May 16, 2006 12:00 PM

Following complaints from concerned students and parents, Lorely Burt, Liberal Democrat MP for Solihull, has tabled an Early Day Motion recognising the strain the AUT university strike is putting on students and encouraging the quick resolution of the situation.

If the strike continues, many students fear they will not be able to graduate this year.

Commenting, Lorely Burt MP said,

"I know a many students are feeling the strain of not knowing if they are going to be able to graduate this summer. Students here in Solihull, helping in my office and throughout the country are already dealing with exams, this just piles on the pressure.

"This is a situation that needs to be sorted quick. I'm very happy that the Education Select Committee is looking into the matter now as well."

    If you are a resident of the Solihull constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
