Some readers will remember the problems of#operationevacuate that resulted in a letter to the Chief Constable of Dumfries and Galloway last month when I repatriated fellow LibDem Stephen Glenn from Bathgate to Bangor, County Down.

This morning when I returned from my trip to Gilwell Park and Oxbridge, there was a letter from the Dumfries & Galloway Constabulary sitting on my door mat.

Dear Mr Campbell,

I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 22nd August 2010. Your correspondence has been passed to Detective Inspector Amanda Scott, Operations, Port Unit to be reviewed and will be responded to in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Nikki Anderson
Executive Support

I look forward to hearing from DI Scott hopefully in the next few weeks. Readers will, of course, be updated as and when I receive any such correspondence.
