Report launched in response to David Cameron’s lobbying suggests ministers curb supply chain finance
A government review into the Greensill scandal, launched in response to David Cameron’s lobbying attempts, has called for a new code of conduct and greater transparency around who is funding lobbying in Whitehall.
The second part of the report, ordered by the prime minister, Boris Johnson, earlier this year and released on Thursday, also recommended the government curb its use of supply chain finance – a method of deferring supplier payments for a fee – that was controversially pushed by Greensill’s bosses and advisers, including Cameron, during the Covid crisis.
