YOU recently printed a letter from a minister who had come to Glasgow Cathedral on Sunday, May 11, in the morning to worship but who was told by police officers at the door that, because the building had to be kept secure for a service in the afternoon to be attended by Army personnel, only members of the cathedral congregation would be admitted to the morning service.

I regret that they were told this and, since a good number of those who were at the service were visitors, it appears that this was not the information given to them.

All cars, except for a few whose numbers were known to the police, were not allowed to park at the cathedral but could be parked nearby, and the occupants were admitted to the cathedral.

Buildings which temporarily become terrorist targets have to be kept as secure as possible. I am sorry that anyone should have been turned away. Visitors are always, as on that Sunday, warmly welcomed.

Very Rev Dr William Morris,

Minister of Glasgow

Cathedral.

May 20.
