SIR – It is good news for Nicola Bolton that she has been invited to Barack Obama’s inauguration – but why are we being asked to consider funding it? I am always supportive of appeals for those who need help for medical care, but I am at a loss to know why we should consider funding what is effectively a personal trip.
