HC Deb 22 February 1972 vol 831 c265W
Mr. Ashton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will cease the practice of addressing hon. Members who belong to Her Majesty's Opposition by their Christian names when answering letters on controversial issues, as this causes offence to their constituents.

Mr. Higgins

This has always been regarded as a matter best left to the discretion of the correspondents.
