SIR - Given the widely-known fact that 80 per cent of our laws now come from Brussels, would it be prudent to suggest that the salaries of our over-paid MPs are immediately cut by 80 per cent?

A similar revision of their pension scale might also be in order - and might help concentrate their minds on the well-being of our nation, rather than their own pockets.

Goodness knows, our NHS, railways, roads, schools and police could all use a little extra cash.

STANLEY PARR,

Pershore.
