HAS anyone, who has had the temerity to write to the Welsh wizard, Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans, in the last few months, noticed a diminution, approximately to zero, in his note(s) of reply?

I have written three letters in the last two to three months and received only one acknowledgement - a postcard.

Why have I not received a reply to a simple question: since the Tories allowed self-nomination to quangos, how many self-nominees have been allowed to join such bodies? (In place of the usual good and/or great needs)?

This inquiry, about classless society, open government etc, has not even been acknowledged. Thanks Nige.
