Two men bailed over Paul Flowers allegations
Two men arrested as part of a "drugs supply investigation" following allegations concerning the former chairman of the Co-op Bank have been released on bail.
Paul Flowers, 63, was filmed allegedly handing over £300 for cocaine and discussing buying other illegal drugs.
Police arrested the men, aged 26 and 34, in Bradford and Leeds on Tuesday.
Mr Flowers, who was arrested on 21 November over the same incident, is currently on police bail.
Following the revelations he was suspended from both the Methodist Church, of which he was a minister in Bradford, and the Labour Party.
He left his position as deputy chairman of the Co-op Group in June.
In a statement, West Yorkshire Police said the men had been released on bail until the new year.
Since the Mail on Sunday published a video of Mr Flowers allegedly paying for and discussing recreational drugs, Labour has sought to distance itself from him as a political row has developed over how he was allowed to reach a high position in the bank.
Until 2011 he was a Labour councillor in Bradford and subsequently served the party on what it says was an informal advisory group.
