SIR Our Polish carpenter wanted touse his space at home in Poland to make some kitchen units for us. He was quarantined for two weeks on arrival in Poland, and a policeman came to his house every day to check.<\/p>\n
He came back to England two weeks ago and was quarantined for a fortnight here but nobody rang or checked up on him in any way.<\/p>\n
We do things differently here.<\/p>\n

SIR It is suggested that commuters should move to using carnet ticket books instead of whole-year season tickets, given that we are all looking for more flexibility in the new normal (report, July 3).<\/p>\n
The railway through the Transport Secretarys own constituency, run by Great Northern, has a carnet option, which is already popular. A customer can buy a book of five or 10 return tickets at a discount price. However, the system involves queuing at the ticket office, then writing the date on apaper ticket each day. The tickets rarely work on the automated barriers.<\/p>\n
For a long time, I have been asking Great Northern to move this to its digital key (Oyster equivalent) system. Great Northern has informed me thatthis is coming in September. Maybe the Transport Secretary can expedite this system as a pilot for the whole country.<\/p>\n

SIR The Government is way behind the curve in introducing legislation to cover the use of e-scooters (Letters, July 4).<\/p>\n
Surely these vehicles should be licensed and made to carry a minimum of third-party insurance.<\/p>\n
