This is nothing new as far as Labour MPs are concerned.
In April 1986 the wife of George Robertson the Labour MP for Hamilton phoned Bowmore Distillery on Islay and asked the management if they would put on a dinner in their distillery to celebrate her husband’s 40th birthday.
The Bowmore distillery management agreed and put on the dinner.
George Robertson was born on Islay and he was a ‘local boy made good’.
It would be interesting to know if George Robertson declared this free dinner for his 40th birthday paid by Bowmore Distillery to the House of Commons.
I received this information over 15 years ago from a Bowmore distillery worker who I used to play golf with at Machrie golf course on Islay.
