CAMERON PROBE: UPROAR OVER LOBBYING RULES

London, April 14: Britain's Opposition Labour Party on Wednesday accused the ruling Conservative Party of “sleaze” as it demanded a full parliamentary inquiry into the extent of lobbying involving former prime minister David Cameron on behalf of collapsed bank Greensill Capital. The row escalated this week after it emerged earlier that Cameron, who was employed at Greensill, had intervened on behalf of the embattled financial institution with text messages to UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak.

While Sunak released the two messages he had sent Cameron in reply in an attempt at transparency, further revelations emerged of interactions with other ministers and a former civil servant being associated with Greensill as a parttime adviser while still in the civil service ranks.
