From Ruth Lea Sir: Paul Robinson (Thought police', 2 October)

was quite right when he stated that the draft outline of his defence pamphlet was approved by the Centre for Policy Studies. The only problem from our perspective was that he failed to comply with the mutual agreement as to the pamphlet's content.

This was the reason for our decision not to publish it, which, incidentally, as we have made quite clear to him, he is free to publish elsewhere.
