Tory 'offered to lobby for betting investors'

A TORY MP allegedly offered to leak a policy document and lobby ministers on behalf of posing as journalists 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 between £2000 and £4000 for two days' work by Benton, who boasted of his "direct" access to ministers.
