If he is found to have breached the rules and given a lengthy suspension from the Commons, this could trigger a by-election in his seat of Surrey Heath.

Will a by-election take place before the next general election?

  • If a by-election takes place, the market will resolve to YES

  • If Parliament is dissolved for a general election before any by-election is announced, the market will resolve to NO

  • If a by-election is announced but cancelled because Parliament has been dissolved for a general election, this market resolves to NO
