The letter added that Mr Green requires ‘an immediate and fulsome apology in relation to the allegation.’

Speaking to journalists on Monday, Mr Field confirmed he had received a letter from the law firm, commenting ‘I would have thought his job is actually now to make good the pensions deficit and not chase me … I don’t know what we need to do now to actually get him to concentrate on what he needs to do.’
