Sir, - The Referendum Commission has in its wisdom deemed it necessary to inform us in its publication An Overview that "the UK will opt into the agreement on social policy."
Perhaps the commission would also care to indicate why it has singled out the decisions of that happy kingdom.
For the commission to imply that the decision whether or not to amend the Constitution of the Republic should be swayed by the decisions of a monarchy is really quite bizarre. - Yours, etc., John M. T. King
