The FTSE 100 closed higher on Tuesday, although a fall in oil major BP after the unexpected departure of chairman Albert Manifold limited gains.
The FTSE 100 closed up 25.13 points, 0.2%, at 10,491.39. The FTSE 250 ended up 160.02 points, 0.7%, at 23,327.49, and the AIM All-Share rose 12.23 points, 1.5%, at 812.46.
