Fair enough if it is a letter from a constituent and he makes it clear it is relevant to read out extracts to illustrate parts of his speech, but frankly I would worry about a politician who read out his ENTIRE speeches from a PDR and seemed incapable of sponteneity and thinking for himself/on his feet. Nor would I want him reading his e-mails if he was supposed to be listening to and participating in a debate as my elected representative. There is a time and a place. The rest of the time these devices ought to be switched firmly off!
