Sir Menzies fights for BP against LibDem drink law

Sir Menzies Campbell, the former leader of the Liberal Democrats, has been criticised for helping the oil giant BP contest a LibDem-backed law on tackling drink problems.

Sir Menzies has so far earned more than £10,000 for helping BP fight Glasgow and Edinburgh’s licensing boards, which want to stop the multinational selling alcohol from its garages.
