SIR: I am pleased to see our new local MP Ruth Kelly is getting her priorities right. After producing her first off-spring, she is now fighting for a House of Commons creche in which to leave him every day.

Shouldn't this young lady have thought twice about a parliamentary career when she was so heavily pregnant and concentrate on raising her family.

Mrs McAllion

Chorley Old Road, Bolton
