HEINZ MEANZ BAD NEWS

October 9, 2006 12:00 AM

Solihull MP, Lorely Burt, was 'blown away' at the announcement that Solihull will play host to a "beans amnesty" by Heinz at Touchwood this Saturday .

Commenting Lorely Burt said,

"I don't know how they have got the nerve to come peddling their beans in the area, when they have recently announced the loss of 120 local jobs with the closure of the HP factory at Aston . Nevermind their "Beanz Meanz Heinz message" - Heinz Meanz bad news for jobs here. "

Mrs Burt recently wrote to the Managing Director of Heinz to demand the removal of the Houses of Parliament logo from HP sauce bottles following the decision to move production to Holland. They have refused.

"I think the ignorance - and arrogance - of Heinz is breathtaking. They described their stunt venue as Touchwood Birmingham: they didn't even know it was in Solihull. When I called to clarify that this event was to take place on my patch they kindly invited me to attend. What they may not yet realise is they could have bitten off more than they can chew." Mrs Burt added.

    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.
