IN reply to D Pratt of Accrington, "Good Evans! No Job for Nigel" (LET June 24).

May I remind him that Nigel Evans was given his most important job on May 1 by the electorate of the Ribble Valley as their MP.

Nigel earned this by hard work, full commitment and working timelessly for all his constituents as their MP five years.

Safeguarding parks and the countryside, protecting the environment and encouraging youth projects, acting against drugs, bringing in Private Members Bill that all convicted criminals are DNA tested are just a few of the things that make us proud he is our MP and sorry for people who cannot find anything more constructive to do but insult a man they obviously do not know.

MRS M A SCOTT, Meadowlands, Chatburn.
