Rishi Sunak has said he is “not aware” of any other Conservative candidates facing investigation by the gambling watchdog over allegations of Tory officials and candidates betting on the UK general election.
The British prime minister said the party had been carrying out its own investigation running alongside the inquiry and “will act” if it finds any wrongdoing over the scandal.
