NEW; THREAD: The Labour Party has been handed what it claims to be a business card for the financier Lex Greensill -- when he worked in government under David Cameron.
Mr Greensill is described on the card as a "senior adviser" in the Prime Minister's Office -- and it includes a Downing Street email address and what appears to be a direct line landline telephone number.
Labour say it was handed to a figure in industry in the summer of 2012 by Mr Greensill, shortly after he was appointed as an unpaid "Supply Chain Finance Advisor."
In a statement at the weekend, the government said:
“Lex Greensill acted as a Supply Chain Finance Advisor from 2012 to 2015 and as a Crown Representative for three years from 2013."
“Lex Greensill acted as a Supply Chain Finance Advisor from 2012 to 2015 and as a Crown Representative for three years from 2013."
Govt statement, continued: “His appointment was approved in the normal manner and he was not paid for either role.”
Mr Cameron and Mr Greensill haven't commented throughout
