Double standards

THE commons Select committee on Standards has denied permission

to investigate Speaker John Bercow over alleged bullying because the claims are more than seven years old.

Meanwhile, Chelsea Pensioner David Griffin, 77, has been quizzed by police about an incident that occurred in Northern Ireland 46 years ago when he was a royal Marine.

How can anyone make sense of this? PETER FISHER, Warrington, Cheshire. IT’S time for the Commons Select Committee on Standards to change its name to the Commons Select Committee on Double Standards. MARY WIEDMAN, Hemel Hempstead, Herts.
