Dear
Mr. Fiddler,
re:
DCA Consultation Paper
“Delivering value for money in the Criminal Defence
Service”
I
hope that I am not exhibiting impatience by sending you a copy
of my letter of the 15th October but I bear in mind
that my first letter to the Department seemed to go astray
notwithstanding I had an acknowledgement postcard. I am confident that you will in fact agree that my
correspondence has shown patience and understanding on my part.
More
recently I have been asked by a number of people to continue the
correspondence not only for myself but on their behalf as well.
In order that they may be kept up-to-date with our
correspondence I propose adding the letters to my web site.
I decided to check with you initially to see if there
would be any objection whatsoever to this.
If this is a problem could you please get back to me, by
return, to explain the problem in order that I can act
appropriately.
One
problem that comes with “class” correspondence is that there
seems to be a collective impatience to progress.
In those circumstances I am hopeful that you will not
mind if I ask that replies are sent as quickly as possible.
Others may not be as patient as I am and I don’t want
the correspondence to slow down because of any weight of similar
letters being sent to your office.
Having
said that I am, of course, extremely grateful to you for the
time, effort and expertise put into the responses and I would
not want to encourage any action that has the effect of putting
any of those attributes at risk.
I
look forward to hearing from you at your early convenience.
Yours
sincerely,
Dennis A. Clarke
