Chancellor says he spent only a little time considering former prime minister’s proposals
Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, has denied giving special treatment to the now-collapsed bank Greensill Capital following an intensive lobbying campaign by former prime minister David Cameron.
Sunak repeatedly denied that he and his team were swayed by receiving 25 text messages, 12 WhatsApps, 11 phone calls and eight emails from Cameron lobbying on behalf of Greensill, the bank for which the former prime minister worked and in which he had an undisclosed multimillion pound equity stake.
