Chris Mason has revealed that Laura Saunders, who is married to Tony Lee (Conservative Party’s Director of Campaigns), is one of the individuals who may have questions to answer.

Laura Saunders is the Conservative party’s candidate in Bristol North West.

Chris Mason states that it is not known when the bet was placed or for how much money.
