Binge drinking the Tesco way

Sam Coates on the Times blog says that anyone trying to fathom the Competition Commission's report on Supermarkets should 'follow the money'. He highlights the amount spent by Tesco on the party conferences as an example.

I was reading Public Affairs News recently in which there was an interview with a former Tesco lobbyist who, after a spell working I think for BAA, was now joining Asda Wal-Mart. He described the activities by lobbyists at party conferences as disgraceful with PA professionals falling out of bars at 11pm or even noon.

But what do Tesco spend their money on at conference - sponsoring receptions for the great and the good. Obviously the lobbyists want to make sure their firm's money is being spent well.
