GAS meter readers are being asked to spy on pubs which may be illegally showing football matches, The Press can reveal.

Security company G4S has admitted asking its meter readers to work “out of uniform” while carrying out certain “non-utility data collection contracts”.

G4S staff have been sent into pubs in York and North Yorkshire to carry out undercover checks as part of a nationwide policy, according to one whistleblower.
