David Cameron insists he has ‘nothing to hide’

British prime minister David Cameron said he did not have “anything to hide” about his financial affairs as he revealed that he and his wife sold shares worth more than £30,000 in an offshore tax haven fund set up by his late father. 

Mr Cameron has faced intense pressure to detail his interests since the Panama Papers leaks, including details of Blairmore Holdings — which used ‘beare r shares’ to protect investors’ privacy.

He told ITV News it was a “fundamental misconception” that Blairemore was set up to avoid tax, saying his father was being “unfairly written about”.
