Boris Johnson has sought to play down the extent of links between Whitehall and the private sector, insisting there are not “loads of people” working as civil servants while also employed by a business.
The Prime Minister has asked lawyer Nigel Boardman to investigate after it emerged that former government procurement chief Bill Crothers worked as an adviser for Greensill Capital while in his Whitehall job.
Greensill, which collapsed in March, also employed former prime minister David Cameron – who lobbied ministers on behalf of the firm.
