National Audit Office launches probe into Greensill’s involvement in Covid schemes

It’s the scandal over power, influence and lobbying at the heart of government that will not go away.

Another inquiry has been launched into Greensill Capital, the collapsed finance firm which had former Prime Minister David Cameron on its books, and its relations with Whitehall.

Labour are also demanding answers over Matt Hancock’s ownership of shares in a company which won a contract from NHS Wales.

The government says the health secretary acted “entirely properly”.
