Wilson Works As Tesco Cashier

While other MPs may be taking a few days off to relax while Parliament is prorogued, Rob Wilson, Member of Parliament for Reading East, has decided to use the three day break to roll up his sleeves and undertake some work experience at Tesco.

Tesco's management have agreed to Rob working a shift at the Reading Napier Road store on Monday 13th November 2006 and have lined up a programme of work, including shelf stacking and manning a checkout.

Rob Wilson commented:

"It is often a criticism of MPs that they are locked away in the Westminster Village out of touch with the everyday lives of their constituents. As a local resident myself I want to be involved in the daily lives of my constituents, that's why I have a programme planned for the next six months including working as a dustman, a PCSO, a postman and a 'dinner lady'!"

"I will be working with organisations, both public and private, to get a rounded view of the many different jobs on which the local community depends."
