Cabinet secretary sets Friday deadline citing ‘acute concern’, as Tory MPs block broader inquiry
The UK cabinet secretary has ordered civil servants to urgently disclose any conflicts of interest amid what he called “acute concern” following the revelation that a senior official worked for Greensill while in government.
The instruction from Simon Case, head of the civil service, came as Conservative MPs voted to block a broader inquiry into the lobbying scandal surrounding the financial services firm Greensill.
