David Cameron will slap at least an extra 15p on wine and 3p on beer if he becomes prime minister to fund a crackdown on drunks and druggies. The plans will be revealed in a major policy report by Mr Cameron's social justice supremo, former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith. An annual £400million extra in booze taxes would be needed for new Conservative plans to treat drink and drug abusers, to be unveiled on Tuesday.
