I WOULD like to reply to the letter from Dawn Turner (You Say, June 19).
As the election co-ordinator for all the Independent candidates for May 2002, I can categorically state that no canvassing took place by the Independents after the announcement of the Queen Mother's death, up to and including the day of the funeral.
Her claims are typical New Labour spin. And after the overall behaviour of New Labour regarding the Queen Mother's funeral, I would definitely not be looking to Dawn's party for any guidance on protocol.
BRIAN HUNT,
Secretary of The Association of Independents,
Worcester.
