The Prime Minister yesterday ordered lawyer Nigel Boardman to head up an inquiry into how the finance firm secured state contracts for supply chain finance The probe will also look at how the lender’s representatives, including Mr Cameron, "engaged with Government". Asked what he made of his predecessor's behaviour the Prime Minister told journalists: "That's a matter for Nigel Boardman's report." Pressed on whether he is attempting to "rough up a rival" with the review, Boris Johnson said: "I think people have got questions that they need to satisfy themselves about - including me - about how this supply chain finance stuff is meant to work. "I don't think it is going on at present anywhere in Government but we need to understand exactly what the intention was, how it came about, and that is exactly what Nigel Boardman is going to do." Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, admitted he had met Mr Cameron and Lex Greensill socially, but insisted he had referred the meeting to officials after "department business" came up. Meanwhile Kwasi Kwarteng, the recently-appointed Business Secretary, told a committee of MPs that he "never received a phone call or WhatsApp" from Mr Cameron.
