by 2019, mr cameron is working for lex greensill, mr hancock is in the cabinet, and the three of themnised by the former prime minister, and given that departmental business came up, i reported to officials in the normal way. it is cronyism and it stinks. so if he thinks he has done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide, - will he publish all the minutes, all the e—mails, all— the correspondence, - all the directions that he gave to civil servants and all his textj messages with david cameron, so we can see exactly what went on with the awarding _ of this contract? mr hancock insists he behaved properly, and added... what i would say is that it is very important that governments engage with external stakeholders, with businesses. there are far bigger questions about access to government lobbying than are likely to be addressed in this government review, its remit is narrow and it has no legal powers to change anything. labour and others say the rules need to be tightened, the system needs to be more transparent as, tonight, another detail emerges about greensill capital. a letter from

in the middle of this mess is the former prime minister, and the banker lex greensill, who was a government when david cameron was in power. he'd impressed the country's most senior civil servant at the time, sirjeremy heywood. another top official, bill crothers, was even allowed to start working for greensill while on the public payroll. years later, david cameron started working for greensill�*s now—defunct bank. texting and contacting not just the chancellor, but two other treasury ministers. arranging drinks for greensill with the health secretary — was it all just too close for comfort? increasingly, we're seeing a murkier and murkier picture. whether it's, you know, the way contracts are handed out, the lack of due process, or the lobbying which, you know, it's not a revolving door, it's an open door now into government. there are now several investigations into exactly what happened at greensill. whether the rules failed or individuals failed to follow them. and remember, lobbying, trying to influence the government, can be perfectly legitimate, and ministers and officials have to e

almost implausibly, this picture appears to show the former prime minister and the financier lex greensillting on a lobbying trip to saudi arabia. david cameron worked for him and texted and called ministers in government now on his behalf. lobbying, the art of trying to change government's minds, is not illegal, but it is meant to be done in daylight, formal and transparent, for all to see. one of david cameron's former close colleagues suggests it is not quite as it should be. i think there is ample evidence from what has happened that there is a gap between the current law about what people can do by way of lobbying once they have left office, and the public perception of what is appropriate. but borisjohnson�*s top official is alarmed, too, after it emerged that a civil servant was able to work for greensill and the government in 2015. simon case, whitehall boss now, wrote to his colleagues this afternoon. he said, "serious issues have come to light which are of acute concern," and called for transparency and full and proper management of any outside interests. all departments have unt
