Shocking Cecil

Sir: It apparently does not occur to Jessica P. Harris (Letters, 26 March) that there is a vast difference between stoning an adul- teress to death and denying such a man as Mr Cecil Parkinson political advancement.

I am not a 'little old lady' such as the ones described by Mr Noel Malcolm. but I, too, will never vote Conservative again after the shocking spectacle of Mr Parkin- son's readmission to the Cabinet.
