SIR - I refer to David Ward's letter of March 25 and do wish he had the courage of his convictions to publish his address.

I fully agree with his synopsis of the skills and experience of the prospective parliamentary candidates for the Conservative, Labour and LibDem parties.

He obviously, however, has not adequately researched the political scene in St Albans or otherwise he would have discovered the United Kingdom Independence Party and myself as their selected Prospective Parliamentary Candidate. We have been canvassing in St Albans since November last year.

Anyhow I am delighted to inform David Ward that his wish list has been fulfilled. As an ex naval officer, offshore oilman and entrepreneur with a group of construction companies I have had the experiences in life that David Ward desires and invite him to visit my website.

JOHN STOCKER

UKIP candidate for St Albans
