Sir: By leaning over backwards to avoid partiality, Donald McLachlan (24 November) has succeeded in being unfair to the paper he ‘once edited. He says that on Devaluation Sunday- the Business Section of the Sunday Times referred to devaluation only as a possibility. This is true, and the same applies to the Observer, which does not suffer from the same technical problems. He does not say that the Sunday Telegraph had two complete city pages dis- cussing the consequences of the devaluation de- cision, nor indeed that from the third edition onwards the Sunday Telegraph was the only Sun- day paper offering a complete and coherent de- valuation edition, covering the front and back pages, the leader page and facing page, and- the city section.
In fairness to my staff, who performed prodigies as their part of this achievement, I felt I must put this on the record.
