Sir: Stephen Goodwin (report, 3 May) notes the "bizarre" situation facing the Conservative Party of having an MP who represents an English constituency acting as shadow Scottish Secretary. Strange - the same thing has been going on for years in Northern Ireland and no one seems to have taken a blind bit of notice.
