MP LINDSAY Hoyle is keen to prove he works 'flipping' hard -- by taking part in Parliament's annual charity pancake race on Shrove Tuesday.

The Labour politician, whose Chorley constituency covers Adlington, is set to compete in the event which will raise money for the brain injury charity, Rehab UK.

Anyone wishing to apply for a charity pack to organise their own race for March 4 should ring 020 8788 7139, or write to, Windermere House, Kendal Ave, London W3 0XA.

Charity chairman George Wilson CBE said: "We are delighted that MPs are supporting the charity and hope that other people will follow their lead, not only to help Rehab UK, but to keep this lovely British tradition alive."
