A Conservative candidate being investigated over an alleged bet on the date of the general election is said to be married to the party’s director of campaigning.
Laura Saunders, the Conservative candidate for Bristol North West, is reportedly being investigated by the Gambling Commission over an alleged bet she made about the date of the General Election - and is the wife of Tony Lee, the Conservative Director of Campaigns. The inquiry makes Ms Saunders the second Tory candidate to be investigated over a bet on the General Election date.Michael Gove has said that Tory candidates being investigated is a ‘betrayal of trust’ in the Prime Minister.
"A Conservative Party spokesperson said at the time: "We are aware of contact between a Conservative candidate and the Gambling Commission. It is a personal matter for the individual in question."As the Gambling Commission is an independent body, it wouldn't be proper to comment further, until any process is concluded."The Guardian reported Mr Williams placed a £100 bet on a July election just days before Mr Sunak named the date as July 4.
