Cameron too close to Google, say critics, after £130m tax deal

Vince Cable, Rupert Murdoch and Margaret Hodge among figures to speak out as questions grow over government links with senior company executives

David Cameron has been accused of getting too close to Google amid growing anger over the government's 130m tax deal, which has been criticised for being too lenient towards the tech giant.

Former cabinet minister Vince Cable, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and former chair of the Commons public accounts committee Margaret Hodge all voiced concerns on Wednesday that Cameron and George Osborne had allowed the tech giant to hold too much sway.
