Former Tory prime minister David Cameron has broken his silence on the lobbying scandal surrounding himself and Lex Greensill
DAVID Cameron has accepted he should have communicated with the Government “through only the most formal of channels” as he acknowledged he made mis-steps over the Greensill Capital lobbying controversy.
In his first comments after weeks of silence, the former prime minister said in a statement that having “reflected on this at length” he accepts he should have acted differently “so there can be no room for misinterpretation”.
The “growing scandal” began after it emerged the former Tory leader privately lobbied current government ministers including Chancellor Rishi Sunak for access to an emergency coronavirus loan for his employer, the scandal-hit financier Lex Greensill.
