A 15-month-old boy has been invited to a British council meeting,despite only being able to say the word ‘mama’.

Oakley Barrett – who can only say the word “mama” – was accidentally sent the letter,which stressed the importance of his attendance at the focus group to hear his views on housing issues affecting Northampton Borough Council.

But Oakley’s family saw the funny side of the mistake and his grandfather admits he wouldn’t have much to say if he did attend the meeting.

He said: “This was clearly a clerical error but when the letter came the thought of Oakley standing up to speak in front of the borough council to discuss issues of housing was quite amusing.

“We couldn’t believe it. We thought this has got to be a wind up. The baby can just about say ‘mama’ so I don’t know what he’d have to say to the council meeting.”
