My parents worked in the same team at Bletchley Park, in the Fusion Room (Letters, 25 March). When asked, my mother said she was a telephonist. The accepted stereotype dampened curiosity. My father warned off questioners by telling them he spent the war “painting spots on rocking horses”. The Fusion Room, which barely figures in accounts of the Bletchley achievements, was full of talented women (Cambridge college unmasks alumnae who were Bletchley Park codebreakers, 17 March).

• Michael Gove’s visits to QPR matches are being treated as perks (Michael Gove guilty of standards breach for not registering VIP football tickets, 25 March)? If my husband’s mood when he returns from QPR’s games is anything to go by, Gove should be rewarded for such selfless suffering.
