SIR – George Eustice (Comment, February 21) has announced £10,000 support packages for fishermen.
It is right to champion this £1.6 billion industry – but what, may we ask, has Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, done to help the rapidly collapsing, £213 billion travel industry? Other than tell the public not to book a holiday, precisely nothing.

HS2 naysayers
SIR – My letter (February 17) supporting HS2 and ruing the opposition to attempts to improve infrastructure prompted a 4-0 naysayer response (Letters, February 21).
Two letters criticised the “limited” route – but HS2 is for long-distance travel, with minimal stops, and its ultimate destination is Newcastle, which is rather more than “half way up England”. A longer-term goal could be to reach Edinburgh or Glasgow.
