Sunak refuses to say whether he told former aide about election date

Did you tell Craig Williams, a man, that you said you were with almost every minute of every day, the date of the election before the government? Sam, I've been clear about this. I'm furious to have learned about these allegations. We've initiated independent inquiries of our own internal ones because I don't have access to the gambling commissions detail. We've suspended candidates that you'll recognize whilst there are ongoing independent investigations. As you said yourself, the police also being involved, it's just not right for me to say anything more about that. But if anyone has broken the rules, of course they should face the full consequences of the law and I will ensure they're booted out of the party. Prime Minister, you know the answer to the question whether or not you told Craig Williams you cannot prejudice. An investigation, any prejudice, a jury target. You absolutely can answer this question. No, it's absolutely not right. While there are ongoing independent investigations that those are compromised in any way, shape or form, they are rightly, they are rightly confidential, They are rightly confidential and it's important that they stay that way and that's the right thing to do. And you know that, you know that we've done, we've done internal enquiries of our own. We have done internal inquiries of our own. We have done internal inquiries of our own and it was a result of those have suspended candidates. I've been clear that anyone who has broken the rules should face the full consequences of the law. I will ensure they're booted out of the party and whilst there are ongoing independent investigations, including, as you said, by the police, it's important that those matters are allowed to proceed properly.
