Commons finds ex-PM did not break lobbying rules by bombarding ministers with messages – but only because rules are too weak
David Cameron’s intensive text message lobbying of ministers and high-ranking civil servants on behalf of Greensill Capital showed a “significant lack of judgment”, an official parliamentary inquiry has found.
The Treasury select committee said it was inappropriate of the ex-prime minister to send 62 messages to former colleagues pleading for them to help the bank, in which Cameron held a “very significant personal economic interest”.
