SIR – I agree entirely with MP David Ward in his campaign for all eateries and food takeaways to have hygiene scores displayed on their premises.

All too often we hear of these premises, when visited by health inspectors, quite a lot are found in a very unhealthy and unhygienic state.

These should be compulsorily shut down until deemed suitable to re-open. Food and hygiene certificates should also be displayed.

People have a right to know that their food is prepared and served in a clean and hygienic environment.
