PETER Gray accuses me of giving misleading information about the percentage of residents in Connaught Court, York, who come from the Yorkshire area (Letters, March 9).

The planning support statement which accompanies the revised planning application for the Royal Masons Benevolent Institute of January 7 clearly states: "Of the existing residents in the care home at present, some 65 per cent come from the Yorkshire area."
