David Cameron’s lobbying of senior ministers and officials, who he knew as prime minister, on behalf of Greensill Capital was “acceptable”, a cabinet minister has claimed. Environment secretary George Eustice, Cameron’s former press secretary, said the ex-PM cannot be “begrudged” for taking on a role lobbying for the now-collapsed finance firm Greensill after leaving office. Eustice also claimed the current system for regulating how ministers declare private sector interests was “actually a pretty good one”. #Marr: On Greensill Capital, was David Cameron’s behaviour acceptable?
