Cameron emails the Bank of England deputy governor: "I do a lot of work with Greensill Capital, now the world leaders in this space. We would be keen to help … Do you have a moment for a quick word? I am on my old number or can call you whenever convenient. All good wishes. Dc". Cunliffe responds in less than an hour. In the afternoon, Cameron has a call with James Benford, private secretary to the previous governer (Mark Carney). After a call with the BofE, Cameron introuced Greensill to Benford “The purpose of this email is to introduce you to Lex Greensill, founder and CEO of Greensill Capital (GC)… I am an adviser to the company. We would be keen to step and help during the current difficulties. Perhaps a first stage would be for Lex and/or some of his team to meet with some of your experts to discuss how the market works and the role of GC within it.”
