LIKE John Vining, (Anyone there? Advertiser 17.7.15) I too, emailed or wrote to Sir George Young when he was our MP and always received a reply.

Recently I had occasion to email our present MP Kit Malthouse. However, unlike John Vining, I did not even receive an automated response. I am led to believe that this is perhaps the third time Kit Malthouse has exhibited such behaviour since the election.

In addition to his duties as our MP he is, apparently, a councillor in London too. I am left wondering if all his constituents receive similar treatment or is it reserved just for the good folk of Andover.
