SIR – It’s good to see someone’s on the same wave-length as myself. For a long time I’ve thought we were over- governed and there were far too many MPs in the House of Commons and worse in the Lords. I see Sir John Major, the former PM, said he would cut 150 MPs off the pay- roll. Myself, I would go further and the same should apply to local councillors. There’s far too many busily doing nothing.
