Misleading MP's website links disconnected (www.bbc.co.uk)

Web domains in the name of a Liberal Democrat MP that led people to a Conservative rival's website all appear to have been disconnected.

Two sitting Devon MPs, Conservative Simon Jupp and Richard Foord, Liberal Democrat, will go head-to-head in the general election in a new constituency.

People typing in RichardFoord.uk, RichardFoord.co.uk or RichardFoord.com were redirected to Mr Jupp's site.

Mr Jupp previously told the BBC he was "not responsible for the web domains".

Mr Foord, MP for Tiverton and Honiton, had said the links "serve to arouse suspicion and undermine trust".

After it emerged on Monday the links were no longer redirecting people, Mr Foord said he was considering how to take the matter further.
