Auditors are to review all aspects of the transaction in light of the Westminster lobbying row
A council in the north-west of England has paused a deal to sell 500-acres of local authority-owned farmland to Lex Greensill owing to the Westminster lobbying row surrounding his firm.
The Labour-run Cheshire West and Chester council approved the sale in February but on Friday the chief executive said auditors would review the transaction to ensure it acted with “integrity”.
