David Cameron has described Nigeria and
Afghanistan as "fantastically corrupt" in a
conversation with the Queen.
The PM was talking about the forthcoming anti-
corruption summit when he made the comments.
It was not clear whether he knew the comments
were being recorded.
"We've got some leaders of some fantastically
corrupt countries coming to Britain... Nigeria and
Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt
countries in the world," Mr Cameron said.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby intervened to
say: "But this particular president is not corrupt...
he's trying very hard," before Speaker John Bercow
said: "They are coming at their own expense, one
assumes?"
The government will host world and business
leaders at the summit on Thursday in London,
aiming to "galvanise a global response to tackle
corruption".
