Letter: What colour is Leo's hair?

I WAS immeasurably assisted in my understanding of the political impact of John Major's veto of the Belgian Prime Minister as president of the European Commission by the information that Andreas Papandreou, the Greek Prime Minister, has a blonde wife ('Major's stand built on sand', 26 June). Imagine my dismay therefore when I find no similarly crucial information on the hair colour of Margaret Beckett's husband in an article on her Labour Party leadership campaign. Without this how can I be expected to be fully informed? We readers should not be treated like this.
