MPs demand ‘forensic’ look at Labour’s plans to protect football pyramid in light of Premier League hospitality

The prime minister has been under scrutiny for days over his more than £100,000 of freebies and gifts over the last parliament, with another £8,000-plus due to be registered for the free use of a box at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.
