Earlier, the Bank of England said Mr Cameron had contacted it multiple times last year as the finance firm sought access to a Covid loan scheme. But he added that Greensill's proposals were ultimately rejected.
Three MP-led inquiries and a lawyer-led government review are looking at Mr Cameron's work for the company, which collapsed in March. The former Conservative leader, who began working for Greensill as an adviser two years after leaving Downing Street, has insisted he broke no lobbying rules but accepted he should have contacted ministers using more formal channels.
But Labour's shadow chancellor Anneliese Dodds said the correspondence showed the firm "was carrying the begging bowl from the Bank of England to the Treasury and back". On Wednesday, the Bank of England released details of contacts between Mr Cameron and its officials, in response to Freedom of Information requests. They show the ex-PM contacted Bank officials before and after the firm applied to join a government scheme to support lending to businesses. Greensill had wanted the terms of the CCFF changed so it could take part - a request the Treasury went on to reject, after concluding the firm's proposals were not suitable.
The published correspondence from the Bank of England includes email exchanges with Sir Jon Cunliffe, the Bank's deputy governor. In one email from early April, Mr Cameron told Sir Jon that Greensill had "failed to get anywhere" with its proposals, despite "numerous conversations" with the Treasury. In another email to him later in the month, the ex-PM said Greensill's inability to access the scheme had proved "incredibly frustrating".
