Ben Elliot also criticised by members of Conservative Middle Eastern Council over new Tory group spearheaded by his client
Labour has called for the removal of Ben Elliot as Tory chair over a row about him being allegedly lobbied by Bahraini and Saudi diplomats in relation to a Conservative Middle Eastern group set up by one of his clients.
Anneliese Dodds, the Labour party chair, accused Elliot of having been allowed to “blur the lines between private business activities and his public responsibility” in the latest twist of the saga around two competing Tory Middle East groups.
