LETTER: Note difference between votes and peerage

Several correspondents have recently, yet again, drawn attention to the imbalance between the voting record of Sir John Hayes and the alleged benefits he brings to his constituents.
In that context it should be noted that what an MP says in the constituency may bring votes, what is said in the House of Commons may bring a peerage.
It appears that Sir John leads a group of MPs calling themselves the Common Sense Group, could this be comprised of many of the swivel eyed loons who made up the European Research Group which made us an international laughing stock and created the risk of turning Kent into a public lavatory?
