Officials’ emails to British Business Bank raise more questions about Greensill’s lobbying in Whitehall
Government officials emailed the British Business Bank eight times for updates on Greensill Capital’s Covid loan requests, MPs have been told, raising further questions about the failed finance firm’s influence across Whitehall.
The Bank’s head of operations told the parliamentary scrutiny committee on Tuesday that the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) had asked for multiple “progress” updates on Greensill’s application to the coronavirus large business interruption loan scheme.
