Letter: Partnership that would beat recession

Sir: Oliver Bond's letter appears to have missed the point of my letter of 12 October. If, when we are contemplating the purchase of any item (whether grown, processed or manufactured) and there is a choice of British or foreign products, we choose a British one, we will help employment in this country. The ownership of the source of the item is secondary; the growing or production of it provides jobs here and the wages flow into this economy.

Yours faithfully,
