Letter: Use that Easter campaign break

Sir: In your front page report of yet another sleaze revelation (27 March), you comment that the Easter weekend forces an effective five- day break, eating into precious campaign time.

If the MPs of all parties spent their Easter break with some self-examination, repentance, confession and reappeared after the five-day break with new life from the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, it would be for the total benefit of the whole country. I cannot think of a better way of "eating into precious campaign time".
