Letters: David Redshaw, Tony Rhodes, Florence Rayner, Jane M Card, Peter Fellows, David G Cantrell and Rod Price respond to insulting remarks made about struggling families
Over 30 years ago, when I was the chef/proprietor of a small hotel in Somerset, I was asked to help prepare a lunch for a local volunteer-run day centre for pensioners.

I managed to provide a shepherd’s pie, vegetables and an apple crumble for the requisite 50p, but only by leaning on my regular meat and veg suppliers for a discount. Quite how Lee Anderson thinks he can make a meal for 30p in 2022 is beyond me.
