LETTER: What was personal part?

In his advert on your website, John Hayes (not his office or his supporters) is claimed to help thousands of local people each year with their problems.
That’s a minimum of 2,000 a year, or an average of 38 a week right through the year.
That’s quite a personal load and perhaps explains why he’s not able to be so much in parliament, where the prime purpose of MPs can be exercised.
I wonder if he could tell us a bit more of what his personal part was in helping each of the 38 people in a typical week.
Incidentally, the accompanying expression of a New Year wish of care for the people of the constituency, comes a bit strangely from an MP who has spent practically the whole of his parliamentary career in supporting the running down of the NHS and other public services.
That is in marked contrast to his sometime attention to his own interests.
For instance, the drawing of more than £95,000 of expenses to support mortgage interest payments on a London property, which was sold a few years later for a clear profit of nearly £900,000.
Hey ho, it’s a hard life!
