S. Solecki proved that if is a system of closed subsets of a complete separable metric space X , then each Suslin set S X which cannot be covered by countably many members of contains a G δ set which cannot be covered by countably many members of . We show that the assumption of separability of X cannot be removed from this theorem. On the other hand it can be removed under an extra assumption that the σ -ideal generated by is locally determined. Using Solecki’s arguments, our result can be used to reprove a Hurewicz type theorem due to Michalewski and Pol, and a nonseparable version of Feng’s theorem due to Chaber and Pol.

AB - S. Solecki proved that if $\mathcal {F}$ is a system of closed subsets of a complete separable metric space $X$, then each Suslin set $S\subset X$ which cannot be covered by countably many members of $\mathcal {F}$ contains a $G_{\delta }$ set which cannot be covered by countably many members of $\mathcal {F}$. We show that the assumption of separability of $X$ cannot be removed from this theorem. On the other hand it can be removed under an extra assumption that the $\sigma $-ideal generated by $\mathcal {F}$ is locally determined. Using Solecki’s arguments, our result can be used to reprove a Hurewicz type theorem due to Michalewski and Pol, and a nonseparable version of Feng’s theorem due to Chaber and Pol.
