The lobbying scandal surrounding David Cameron and his work for the failed finance firm Greensill Capital has prompted a sparked a whole series of inquiries at Westminster.
The former Conservative prime minister faces some difficult questions about his relationship with financier Lex Greenhill and his incredible access to ministers and officials after leaving No 10.
Mr Cameron will be grilled by two separate panels of MPs on Thursday – the Treasury Committee at 2.30pm and the Public Accounts Committee at 5pm – about his intense lobbying efforts.
The former Tory leader has insisted he broke no rules on behalf of the firm – but admitted he should have communicated with the government through “formal channels” rather than via text and WhatsApp.
Any donations Boris Johnson received over the controversial refurbishment of his Downing Street flat are expected to be published by the end of the month.
His new ministerial standards adviser, Lord Geidt, said on Thursday that he is “determined” to publish the long-overdue list of ministers’ interests before May is up.
The crossbench peer told MPs that “alongside” the list he will publish his report into the declaration of any donations the Prime Minister received to help cover the costs of the lavish renovations in No 11.
The list of ministers’ interests has not been published since July last year but Lord Geidt said he is “in the process of receiving” the relevant papers.
Details of who paid for Boris Johnson s controversial refurbishment of his Downing Street flat could be revealed within weeks, his new adviser on ministerial behaviour said today.
Lord Christopher Geidt, a former aide to the Queen, told MPs that he planned to release the long overdue register of ministerial interests by the end of May.
And he confirmed that he expected Mr Johnson s entry covering the renovation of his No11 apartment, and his own advice on the issue, would be released as part of it.
Mr Johnson is under pressure to reveal if any Tory donors were involved in funding the costly renovation.
