Westminster fame for local discount store
| Published: 21st July 2008 21:35 |
Westminster MPs could be joining Kings Heath bargain hunters after a local store was featured in a controversial Commons debate.
International Stock, in Silver Street, is now officially listed in ‘Hansard' the record of Parliamentary debates after local MP Lynne Jones advised her colleagues to shop there for electrical goods.
John Cullen, owner of the discount warehouse, was not surprised by the mention. "We've had MPs, councillors, titled people all purchase things from this warehouse," he said.
The subject cropped up during a debate on MPs expenses, particularly around the so-called ‘John Lewis List' for items to furnish the London homes of elected representatives.
So could the John Lewis List be replaced by the International Stock List in the future?
"We have supplied London apartments in the past - and we do a delivery service," quipped the Kings Heath businessman.
