Travel guides show 'left-wing bias'

Conservative MP Greg Hands has criticised travel guides for displaying left-wing bias. He says that the history and politics sections of the book are misleading and promote inaccurate accounts of a country's past as well as a biased view of the political systems. Martin Dunford, one of the founders of the Rough Guide guidebooks, says their aim is to present difficult issues in a simple format.
