Saving whales

Sir: Under the heading Saving the whale' you quoted a Friends of the Earth warning that Waitrose Meat/Liver cat food contains whalemeat.

In fact this is no longer true. The 4 per cent of whalemeat originally included in the recipe was withdrawn at the end of March. James Stephenson Press Information Officer, John Lewis and Company Limited, Oxford Street, London W1
