Ear witness

Sir: It was Jocelyn Hambro, chairman of Hambros Bank — not, as your correspondent Richard Skilbeck tells us (Letters, 17 May), Bernard Levin — who called Harold Wilson the worst prime minister since Lord North. I was there to hear him say it. The Wilson government then ordered an inquiry into Hambros.
