The accounts only cover the 12 months to April 30 last year and therefore exclude any profits made from his memoirs For the Record, which was published in September.

There are hints on how the year ahead could go for the former politician’s post-Westminster career, with £220,319 owed to the company versus £174,549 due to creditors.

Mr Cameron is not a director of the business, according to Companies House, although he is listed as the owner. Former political secretary Laurence Mann is the only director.
