Illegal migration minister Michael Tomlinson is speaking to Sky News on behalf of the government this morning.He first off is asked about the extradition of Julian Assange - but says it is breaking news, and he wants to wait for the 'full facts' before he responds.Sky presenter Matt Barbet asks the minister if he feels 'the same about the gambling scandal as well that's engulfing the Conservatives right now'.
The presenter adds: 'Are you going to tell me that we have to wait for the full facts and the Gambling Commission's investigations?'Mr Tomlinson says - channelling his 'inner lawyer' - that it is 'certainly the right thing to do' to wait for the watchdog to finish its probe.Matt asks why it is the right thing to do when some involved have conceded they placed a bet.
