Ex-Leicestershire leader resigns from Tory group

摘要

Cllr David Parsons (pictured), the former leader of Leicestershire CC, has resigned from the county's Conservative group, a day before an extraordinary meeting to discuss his conduct. As The MJ went to press, his successor as group and council leader, Cllr Nick Rushton, confirmed that Cllr Parsons had tendered his resignation from the group by e-mail one hour after receiving a copy of an internal party investigation into whether he broke party rules over European travel expenses.
