Scott Benton said if the recall petition is successful then the by-election would cost the taxpayer £300,000 - followed by another £300,000 at the general election 'within months'
A recall petition that could trigger another by-election has opened against a suspended ex-Tory MP who was caught in a lobbying sting.
Mr Benton was stripped of the Tory whip after the allegations surfaced and now sits as an independent. The Commons Standards Committee, which recommended the suspension, said Mr Benton’s actions were an “extremely serious breach” of the rules.Mr Benton appealed against both the finding and the suspension, but an independent panel upheld the Standards Committee’s original decision, saying there had been “no procedural flaw” in the process.
“If the recall petition is successful, then the council will have to fund a by-election and then a general election within months.” The recall petition opened on Tuesday and can be signed by eligible voters in Blackpool South until April 22. Blackpool Council said on its website that 5,629 signatures – 10% of voters – are needed to oust Mr Benton and trigger a by-election.
