Close aide to the Prime Minister and candidate for Montgomeryshire & Glyndwr Craig Williams is "fully cooperating" with a Gambling Commission investigation into a bet he made about the upcoming General Election.Mr Williams, the Conservative candidate for the Powys seat he held in the last Parliament under its previous name of Montgomeryshire, is being investigated by the commission for what he described as a"flutter" about the election, due to be held on July 4.
