The chair of the Treasury Committee is questioning former Prime Minister David Cameron about his lobbying efforts for collapsed supply chain finance firm Greensill Capital as part of an inquiry into the scandal.

Cameron, who was an adviser to Greensill Capital, was reported to have lobbied the UK government to increase the supply chain finance firm's access to state-backed emergency Covid-19 loan schemes, months before its collapse.
