Simon Case has admitted he had an “informal conversation” about potential roles at a royal charity for the Prime Minister’s now-wife.

The Cabinet Secretary was responding to a letter from Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner, in which she challenged him over his involvement in Boris Johnson’s alleged efforts to try to secure Carrie Johnson top jobs.
