No response over rocket range 11/8/14
Sir,
Apart from a rather dubious and irrelevant response from Dr Wilson, there has so far been no reply from Angus B MacNeil MP to my request for information relating both to the campaign to 'save' the rocket range a number of years ago and also the number of visits he has undertaken to these facilities since the election of 2010.
I find this rather strange. After all, this is a man who made his early reputation as an MP calling for transparency and accountability in parliament. Does this, I wonder, only apply to others and not, for some reason, to himself?
I call upon him again to release all the correspondence, letters and emails connected with the threat to the existence of the range, complete with access to all the media statements he made at that time. Given the fact that he himself has raised the issue of its survival at that time over the last few weeks, surely it would only be fair and just of him to do this.
Can I ask again, too, for all the details of the visits to the range he has undertaken between the election of 2010 and the end of July 2014? This is just in case he has responded to my previous letter by suddenly organising a visit to the range in order to obtain some kind of informed opinion about what is going on there. Clearly, as Paul Blake points out in his recent letter, his last pronouncement had as little connection with the range's realities as his nonsensical claim that both he and the MSP 'saved' it.
But perhaps I do him an injustice. He wouldn't have been so unprofessional as to fail to have gone there at any time over the last four years.
Or would he?
