Sunak must strip Scott Benton of the Conservative Whip

5 Apr 2023

 

Responding to reports from the Times that Scott Benton MP offered to table questions, leak a confidential policy document and lobby ministers on behalf of gambling investors, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper said:

"These shocking revelations are yet another damning indictment of the state of the Conservative Party. The British public are sick of Conservative sleaze. 

"Rishi Sunak must strip Benton of the Conservative party whip immediately. Anything less would be make a mockery of his claim to restore integrity."
