Conclusion
Nonetheless, there are aspects that would appear to suggest that Mr Greensill’s role was not truly reflective of his status as consultant. He appeared to operate with far greater autonomy than we would expect. And we would not normally expect a consultant under contract to the Cabinet Office to be given a business card describing them as a Senior Advisor in the Prime Minister’s Office or a pass to access Downing Street. This is not the only occasion where this Committee has questioned the appropriateness of the use of consultants. The way they are used is something the Committee will consider further in the next phase of the inquiry.
