| Video Discription | The Home Secretary has admitted that the ongoing betting scandal is “frustrating” but has denied calls for Rishi Sunak to suspend those being investigated. A string of people with links to either the Conservative Party or No10 are alleged to have placed bets on the timing of the July 4 election before Mr Sunak announced it. This includes Nick Mason, chief data officer for the Conservative party, who is being investigated for bets placed on the date of the election, according to the Sunday Times. LBC understands that Mason has taken a leave of absence from his role while the matter is investigated by the Gambling Commission. “It’s of course frustrating when you have conversations about inappropriate action,” James Cleverly told LBC’s Sunday with Lewis Goodall. But he did not agree with calls for those being investigated to be suspended, saying that it is "right" to wait for the outcome of the investigation. “People in campaigns should be focused on campaings, they should be focused exclusively on doing those jobs,” Mr Cleverly went on. Conservative candidate Laura Saunders, who is one of the people being investigated, said she "will be co-operating with the Gambling Commission". She is the wife of Tony Lee, the Conservative Director of Campaigns, who has taken "a leave of absence" amid investigations into the betting scandal. It came after the arrest of one of the Prime Minister's police protection officers and the previous revelation of a Gambling Commission investigation into his parliamentary aide, Craig Williams. Williams has apologised for having a “flutter” on the election.
