The Press Council

Sitt,—Re your comments on the Press Council and the Daily Mirror, you will have noticed that the Daily Mirror did have something to say, on Thursday. One of its remarks was : "The Mirror was ' condemned ' by representatives of rival (and less successful) news- papers." The possibility of seeing it that way is surely a disadvantage of having no lay members on the Council 7—Yours faithfully, J. R. WARD. 2 Norfolk Street, Batley, Yorks.
