Businessman Lex Greensill had a sometimes "extraordinarily privileged" relationship with government, a Cabinet Office report has found.Civil servants "should have considered" the conflicts of interest, it adds.
Report author Nigel Boardman said Mr Cameron had "on occasion understated the nature of his relationship with Greensill Capital" when seeking to influence the Treasury's decisions.The government ordered an inquiry when it emerged the former prime minister had lobbied ministers via text messages on behalf of the finance firm.
Mr Greensill undertook a period of informal work with the government and was later appointed as an adviser on supply chain finance in an unpaid role from 1 January to 31 March, 2012. "The process should be more clearly delineated, and requires greater transparency to maintain public confidence."
