Tory candidate selection proposals

From Mrs Laura Midgley

Sir, On the day that you published the results of the Equal Opportunities Commission study revealing a widespread dislike of positive discrimination among women you also printed an article calling for all-women shortlists for Conservative selection processes.

I am sick to death of special favours and helping hands and, it seems, I am in tune with most women who agree that these are “artificial” and “unfair” — according to the Equal Opportunities Commission’s own report.

Only a handful of people want to see any form of positive discrimination for Conservative parliamentary seats and the electorate does not fall into this category.

Yours faithfully,
LAURA MIDGLEY,
12 Trevose House,
Orsett Street, Kennington,
SE11 5PN.
July 2.
