Former Britain Prime Minister David Cameron is currently under intense pressure as the government has announced an inquiry into lobbying of ministers prior to the collapse of finance firm Greensill.
This is coming just a day after Cameron finally broke his silence on the scandal, Downing Street said the inquiry would be led by senior lawyer Nigel Boardman and report back soon.
‘We recognise the public interest here and that’s why the prime minister has commissioned this independent review,‘ Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman told reporters.

The inquiry ‘will look at how contracts were secured and how business representatives engaged with the government’, he said, confirming it would examine Greensill’s role in the use of supply chain finance by the government.
‘You can expect a prompt return on this.’ it added.
The collapse last month of British company Greensill threatened 50,000 jobs, in particular at the sprawling steel empire of Indian-British billionaire Sanjeev Gupta.
