8:16Now PlayingRishi Sunak has said he is not being investigated as part of the probe into the Conservatives' election gambling scandal.
Mr Sunak also said that he was unaware of any other Conservative candidates who were under investigation by the Gambling Commission.
The Prime Minister added that the Conservatives were running their own internal investigation into the scandal in which several people linked to the party are accused of placing bets on the date of the election. He said he had never placed a bet on politics.
Mr Sunak added: "The Gambling Commission is independent of Government – it's independent of me.
"I don't have the details of their investigation, right? They don't report to me, I don't have the details, but what I can tell you is, in parallel we've been conducting our own internal inquiries and of course will act on any relevant findings or information from that and pass it on to the Gambling Commission."
Andrew Marr is joined by Postal minister Kevin Hollinrake to speak about this and the Tory party's election campaign as a whole.
