Mr Cameron’s one-time press secretary George Eustice said his old boss had not broken any rules in his work for the controversial finance firm and said former politicians must be allowed to start new careers. It came after The Sunday Times published emails showing that Mr Cameron had tried to get access to doctors’ and nurses’ details for Greensill’s early payment service. Mr Eustice told the BBC: ‘I think the key thing is that he has not broken any of the rules. Mr Cameron, who worked for the firm, said he raised human rights concerns with the crown prince during the trip. He meticulously observed the rules.’ Asked if changes to the rules were now needed, Mr Eustice said the current system was ‘fundamentally... a pretty good one’.
