[To THE EDITOR OP TER "SPECTATOR:1

SIR,—In reply to your comment on my letter in the Spectator of March 25th, may I be allowed to observe that the "con- stitutional functions" of an Opposition, and the recognised practice of modern Oppositions, are not identical P I spoke of the latter. I do not dispute your theory, but we have to

deal with facts.—I am, Sir, &c., REGINALD LUCA& House of Commons.
