Opposition demands records of texts, calls and meetings on tax and Covid support schemes to be made public
Labour has formally called for the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to publish all records of text messages, calls or other informal meetings connected to tax rules and Covid support schemes, following the row about lobbying by business interests.
The demand came as Bernard Jenkin, the Conservative MP who chairs the powerful Commons liaison committee, said there should be tougher rules on conflicts of interest in government after text exchanges between Boris Johnson and the billionaire businessman James Dyson.
