Dear xxxx,

I am writing to tell you that I have wound up the APPG on Fiji with effect from today. You cannot fail to have noticed the controversy this has attracted and I would like to apologise for any direct or implied difficulties that I have caused you.

I look forward to seeing you when I return to the House of Commons.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Patrick Mercer OBE MP

And with that, it was gone…
