NEWS STORY : Serious Allegations Made Against Conservative Craig Williams for Betting Fraud

STORY

Serious allegations have been made about Craig Williams, the Conservative candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr, who placed a bet of £100 on the timing of the General Election. The bet, which transpired to be accurate, won £500 and has now led to an investigation by the Gambling Commission. Williams, who is the Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, has apologised and said that it was “a huge error of judgement”. Rishi Sunak, answering questions from journalists, refused to say whether he was involved in the bet or whether Williams knew the date of the General Election before placing the bet.
