SIR – I have received a letter from Marilyn Lister of the office of the Conservative Party co-chairman, on boundary changes.

She says: “The Conservative party has proposed to the Boundary Commission that Worth Valley should return to Keighley and that there should be a Shipley seat including Baildon.” All of which I agree with, and have written to the Boundary Commission to say so.

However, it would seem that the Conservatives have not risen above party politics.

She makes no mention of other changes proposed for Bradford, namely in Bradford East where we would have the absurd situation of a Leeds MP representing a large part of the constituency. Sitting MP David Ward, Liberal Democrat, is voicing his concerns.

When the proposals were first voiced, Labour MP for Bradford South Gerry Sutcliffe said we will have to and see how this effects us before anything can be said.

Party politics should come second to what is best for the whole of the Bradford district, which has one of the fastest growing populations in Britain, and we should continue to be represented by all five of our MPs.
