Anneliese Dodds MP, Labourâs Shadow Chancellor, in her Urgent Question speech to Parliament today regarding the Greensill scandal, said:
âI welcome the Ministerâs presence but it was the Chancellor who needed to come to the House today. The Chancellor who told David Cameron he would âpushâ his team to amend emergency loan schemes to suit Cameronâs new employer. The Chancellor whose officials met with Greensill ten times. The Chancellor who took the credit for Government business loan schemes when they were in the headlines â indeed, who personally announced those schemes. Yet the Chancellor is frit of putting his name to those loan schemes today. Heâs just spent £600,000 on communications. Youâd think that would extend to communicating with parliament.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak will be hauled before Parliament tomorrow to explain why he granted Greensill Capital access to a Covid loan scheme for businesses, putting hundreds of millions of pounds of public money at risk.
The Speaker has granted an Urgent Question tabled by Labourâs Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds asking the Chancellor to explain the process by which Greensill Capital was accredited as a lender for the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Scheme (CLBILS) in June 2020.
That decision allowed the lending firm to issue state-backed loans of up to £50 million, with media reports suggesting that eight such loans, totalling £400 million, were issued to Sanjeev Guptaâs GFG Alliance group of companies. Greensillâs collapse has plunged GFG into financial crisis, putting 5,000 jobs at risk in across its UK operations, including 3,000 at Liberty Steel.
