MY thanks to Dorothy Brady, (Your Views: April 16).

We know what has occuped the majority of time spent by MP Ruth Kelly during her time in Parliament.

But what about the rest of us constituents, who, like me, voted for her on a number of promises, among which was that open cast mining would NOT take place.

Incidentally, I am not a 'Mrs', and have no affiliation with the Tories.
