What splendid news that Eton will educate young people in the north (21 March). This could make a significant contribution to the levelling-up agenda, as it will enable working-class kids to discard the plebeian attitudes that are holding them back, and adopt the values that have led to success for Eton alumni such as David Cameron and Boris Johnson.

• Permanent summer time may work in the south of England (Letters, 22 March), but it doesn’t work in the north of Scotland. A three-year experiment that began in 1968 proved this. And starting the day’s work in winter darkness was utterly dismal.
