The Conservative Party has suspended Laura Saunders and Craig Williams after serious allegations made against them for placing bets on the timing of the General Election. The party said in a statement:

We have checked with the Gambling Commission that this decision does not compromise the investigation that they are conducting which is rightly independent and ongoing.”
