HOW appalling that Mrs Ann Hodgsons letter to Tony Blair was found in a recycling bin. However, I would just like to say that she was very lucky to get a reply from 10 Downing Street.

Both my wife and myself have written to Tony Blair in the past on topics that we were concerned about, and have not even had an acknowledgment of receipt of our letter, let alone a proper reply, however poor!
