SIR – Mark Starr (Letters, October 10) congratulates the Liberal Democrats on voicing their opposition to the latest proposals to strengthen the EU arrest warrant and typically condemns the Conservatives for apparent inaction.

As usual he has his facts completely upside down.

The facts of course are that Conservative MEPs voted firmly against these proposals and both Labour and Liberal Democrat MEPs joined Labour MEPs in voting enthusiastically in favour.

PHILIP BUSHILLMATTHEWS MEP,

European Parliament, Brussels and Conservative office, Worcester.
