Unsavoury junkets

WHILE it is right to highlight MPs who have accepted lavish hospitality from Saudi Arabia (Mail), this has only been prompted by the suspected state-sponsored murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

All MPs should be named who have received hospitality from any unsavoury regime in the name of ‘broadening understanding’. These junkets should be stopped.

I want my MP dealing with local issues and not cavorting on an allexpenses-paid luxury holiday dressed up as a fact-finding mission. ANGUS FERGUSON, Terrington, N. Yorks. ON TOP of all the perks and advantages they get, it appears MPs have no problem with accepting ‘hospitality’ from regimes such as the Saudis. They act only in their own or party interest — few inspire the confidence that they work with Britain’s best interest in mind.
