With William Hague coming in for criticism over the way he has dealt with allegations about his private life, William Hill are offering odds of 5/1 that he will resign from his position as Foreign Secretary before the start of the Conservative Party Conference - but make him an odds-on chance still to be in that position when the next General Election is held.
'Mr Hague has looked somewhat ill at ease under the media spotlight of the past few days, and with his private life coming under scrutiny some observers of the political scene are speculating that he could decide to take himself and his wife out of the limelight by standing down' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
