I WOULD like to reply to the letter from Sean Shannon about our MP, Julie Kirkbride, only attending 40 per cent of votes in Parliament.

Come on, fair's fair. Julie had a baby in October.

Is she not entitled to some time off for a pregnancy?

Even Tony Blair took time off when Cherie had their baby Leo.
