David Cameron denies £10m payment from Greensill Capital

"£10m? No, definitely not. They paid me £9,999,989.59 precisely so I could avoid this type of question."

"Separately, an unrelated, partially-owned-arms-length-subsidiary company paid me a completely unrelated £10.41"

"I repeat that I definitely and honestly did not receive £10m."

"I only have to answer the question 'yes' if you guess the exact number, to the penny".

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Lord Cameron has denied he was paid £10m by the collapsed financial firm Greensill Capital but has declined to disclose his earnings as its advisor.

The foreign secretary was repeatedly asked by the BBC how much he earned from the company at the centre of fraud investigations in two countries.

After being asked on the Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday show if he had been paid £10m by Greensill Capital, Lord Cameron said: "No, that isn't true."

In this role he tried to persuade ministers to allow the firm to join a scheme called the Corporate Covid Financing Facility (CCFF).

Criminal inquiries into alleged fraud are ongoing in Germany and Switzerland, where Mr Greensill has been named as a suspect.

The lobbying scandal which surrounded Lord Cameron's work for Greensill prompted a series of inquiries at Westminster.
