Neil Hamilton outlines Welsh ties in UKIP assembly bid

Former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton has described a campaign against his bid to stand as an AM for UKIP as a "cancer" that needs to be "cleansed".

UKIP has launched an investigation after an anonymous leaflet criticising Mr Hamilton was sent to party members, describing him as being "parachuted in" to the assembly contest.

Mr Hamilton has told BBC Wales he has been selected to fight the Carmarthen East and Dinefwr constituency at the election.
