JOHN Boaler, leader of the Labour Party in Calne, alleges through your letters page that I have failed to turn up at election hustings during this campaign in North Wiltshire.
Mr Boaler knows perfectly well that there have been no such hustings and is seeking to make some cheap political point out of besmirching my readiness to engage with the electorate.
I have now spent the best part of six weeks on doorsteps throughout North Wiltshire, and have spoken to many thousands of people.
JAMES GRAY
Conservative parliamentary
candidate for North Wiltshire
