MPs urge Cameron to make public Greensill lobbying texts to Sunak

Former prime minister told to release full texts he sent to chancellor at start of the pandemic

An influential group of MPs has ordered David Cameron to release texts he sent to the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, as part of a parliamentary inquiry into the Greensill lobbying scandal.

The Conservative-dominated Treasury select committee wrote to key figures in the scandal on Monday, asking for evidence that will help piece together the true impact of Cameron's efforts to ensure the lender had access to emergency Covid loans and NHS staff records.
