Labour ramps up pressure on Sunak over Greensill calls with Cameron

Content of at least one phone call about collapsed finance firm with ex-PM is yet to be released

Chancellor Rishi Sunak is facing mounting pressure over his private phone calls with David Cameron about the scandal-hit finance company Greensill Capital, amid claims that their discussions may have breached the ministerial code.

Questions over the extent of Cameron's lobbying of serving ministers ballooned last week, with seven inquiries now announced into various aspects of the new lobbying scandal. Two senior Treasury officials will be asked this week why Greensill was granted a series of meetings with the department, as it repeatedly tried and failed to gain access to an emergency Covid loans scheme.
