Tory's betting slip-up

A TORY MP allegedly offered to leak a policy document and lobby ministers on behalf of journalists posing as gambling industry investors.

Scott Benton, MP for Blackpool South since 2019, was secretly filmed by The Times in a 70-minute meeting last month.

The 'investors' suggested a fee of £2,000-£4,000 for two days work to Mr Benton, who boasted of his "direct" access to ministers.
