The Chancellor has insisted the Treasury acted “entirely appropriately” in its handling of David Cameron’s lobbying on behalf of Greensill Capital.

Rishi Sunak said the issue “did not take up a very significant part of my time” or that of officials but it was “right to listen to Greensill’s initial proposal.”
