Former prime minister approached Treasury and Downing Street to gain financial firm access to Covid loans
The former prime minister David Cameron reportedly lobbied senior government officials to give Greensill Capital special access to the largest available tranche of emergency Covid loans just months before the lender collapsed.
Cameron, who was an adviser and shareholder in Greensill, is said to have contacted former colleagues to try to help the supply chain finance firm tap cheap, 100% government-backed loans through the Covid corporate financing facility (CCFF).
