PM says most of upper echelons not ‘double-hatting’ and UK service is one of the best in the world
Boris Johnson has insisted there are not “loads of people” working as civil servants while also employed by a business, after at least two senior officials in Whitehall were revealed to have worked simultaneously for the scandal-hit company Greensill.
Johnson said the independent inquiry into Greensill and the lobbying on behalf of the company by the ex-prime minister David Cameron will look at “the whole thing” including “double-hatting” by civil servants.
