LETTER : Political asylum does not permit propaganda campaigns

From Dr Pete Connolly

Sir: I wonder if Ann Widdecombe could clear up a nagging concern I have?

Two years ago, because I felt my Saudi employer was jeopardising my safety, I was obliged to break my contract and not return to my job in Riyadh. Should I be concerned that, in the light of recent events, there may come a time when the British government might force me to return, since it might be good for business?

Sincerely,

Pete Connolly
