Nigel Boardman appointed to lead investigation into David Cameron lobbying scandal.

Boardman knows Cameron well as he was personally appointed by Cameron to the highly prestigious British Museum trustees.

Boardman was also implicated in fee gouging in the Carillon bankruptcy.

Also not really clear if Nigel Boardman’s task of leading an investigation into David Cameron’s lobbying is compatible with his other position - a non-executive role on the board of the UK govt BEIS department.

Interestingly Boardman is responsible for seeing that govt contracts & business was carried out properly - so in a sense Boardman has now been tasked with investigating his - and his employer’s - the Govt - own failure.

Still Boardman has plenty of experience on business ethics as a senior partner at the company - Slaughter & May - that was named as behind the most brutal fee gouging that saw millions extracted from Carillion just hours before company went bankrupt. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/partner-of-magic-circle-law-firm-which-advised-carillion-appointed-to-government-board_uk_5b41f920e4b07b827cc19cd0
