WITH reference to “Lost in the post” by Bob Faragher 07/08/15.

I, too, have written and posted a letter to our new MP Kit Malthouse on July 12.

As yet, I have not even received an acknowledgement.

As Bob stated, Sir George was a brilliant correspondent and would acknowledge a letter, reply to a question or send it on the relevant minister and then send on a copy of their response once he had received the answer to one’s query.

I know that Kit Malthouse has big boots to fill, but at this moment in time I don’t think he even rates a pair of flip flops.
