The Foreign Secretary admitted it was too late to take the Conservative candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr off the ballot paper this close to the election.
David Cameron lashed out at 'foolish' Tory MP Craig Williams today as the aide to Rishi Sunak faced condemnation for placing a £100 bet on the date of the election.
Using confidential information in order to gain an unfair advantage when betting may constitute a criminal offence of cheating under section 42 of the Gambling Act, the Commission said yesterday. He said he was happy to have Williams run as a Tory, but added: 'All the nominations are in, and candidates are standing, and I don't think we can change that.
On May 22 Mr Sunak announced July 4 would be the date of the vote, outside No10. That would have landed Mr Williams £500. Ladbrokes raised the bet with the GC, which reportedly told No10 last week.
