He made the claims on his Facebook page
Conservative deputy chairman Lee Anderson is to be sued over claims he made against a man running a food bank. Michael Hollis has instructed a solicitor firm to pursue libel proceedings against the MP.
In a statement, Bindmans said: “On February 1, 2023, Mr Anderson made defamatory allegations of bribery against a local man, Michael Hollis, who runs a food bank charity. Mr Anderson claimed in a Facebook post published to his 35,000 followers that money had changed hands in brown envelopes in relation to a planning application made by Mr Hollis.
Along with the claim Mr Anderson posted a screenshot of a planning application made in Mr Hollis's name. It referred to a property in Silverhill Lane, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. It was listed as a valid application on December 12, 2022, with a decision due by February 6.
