I certainly agree that everyone wants to sell booze and there is no overall control. Which is the same case in almost every aspect of life in the UK nowadays.

The Guardian article on this has the answer (my emphasis)
... newly appointed aviation minister Tariq Ahmad is proposing a crackdown on the sale of alcohol at UK airports.


Can anyone save us from newly appointed men who think that they must do SOMETHING or ANYTHING to justify their new job title ...

I do hope that chrissw is correct:
My immediate reaction to the article was that an "examination" will lead to...exactly no action being taken, and that is what I fully expect to happen.
After all, this IS still Britain.
