The Leveson report states “politicians and the press have traded power and influence in ways which are contrary to the public interest”. I would like to know how Theresa May and her government will avoid at least public perception of this problem in its relationship with the editor of the London Evening Standard (May defends Osborne role at newspaper, 6 April).

• I have a solution for the old actor/actress chestnut at award ceremonies without halving the number of awards and spoiling the fun (Letters, 5 April). Divide the performers into “actor wearing a suit” and “actor wearing a dress”. I think that’s gender neutral.

• Visiting the iron-age settlement of Castell Henllys in west Wales, my grandson saw a notice about iron-age life. “They didn’t have chocolate,” it said. (Great secular Easter egg hunt, 5 April). His immediate reply was: “What did they do at Easter then?” The answer was complicated.
