MP SUPPORTS SILHILLIAN CAMPAIGN

July 11, 2006 4:18 PM

Lorely Burt continues to back the Solihull Times campaign to get the word 'Silhillian' into the Oxford English Dictionary. Speaking in a Westminster Hall Debate on the future of Community Services and Post Offices, Mrs Burt said:

"In Solihull neighbourhood policing has worked most effectively, as has community support. The idea of localisation, of familiarity with one's own local area has been extremely successful for Silhillians and for all in the UK who have been able to enjoy its benefits."

Commenting later, Lorely Burt MP said, 'Silhillian' is a common term to refer to people from Solihull. It deserves its place in the Oxford English Dictionary.

    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.
