Statutory Committee chairman arrested and charged

Lord Fraser of Carmyllie, chairman of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Statutory Committee, was arrested and charged shortly before Christmas after flying from London to Dundee.

Lord Fraser has been charged with behaving in a threatening, abusive, insulting or disorderly manner towards a member of the crew of an aircraft — an offence under the Air Navigation Order 2005.

The Dundee procurator-fiscal is currently considering a police report on the matter. If convicted, Lord Fraser could be fined up to £2,500. He has protested his innocence.
