SIR - On Friday, May 18, our MPs had the opportunity to enact legislation setting up safe houses for the protection of vulnerable runaway children, except that they didn't do this.
Instead they used the Parliamentary time available to push through a measure exempting themselves from the Freedom of Information Act, thus preventing, among other things, any public scrutiny of their claims for expenses.
I believe this is called getting your priorities right.
