COUNCILLOR Tony Brice was binned by the Kirklees Conservative group in Huddersfield after admitting benefit fraud but has now been sensationally re-admitted, tbg can reveal.
The Tory Cllr was dumped by the Conservative group in December 2011 after pleading guilty to falsely obtaining £2,977 in housing benefit.
The Tory group apparently said at the time that the expulsion was on a permanent basis.
Just a year and six months later he has been re-admitted to the Kirklees Conservative group after making the request.
A spokesperson for the Conservatve group said - "Clr Tony Brice has been re-admitted into the Conservative Group.
"Clr Brice served his sentence and has publicly apologised for the mistakes he made."
