Rishi Sunak used a helicopter to travel from London to Norfolk, it has been revealed.
The premier was in Hethersett near Norwich on Tuesday morning to visit a new-build estate after an announcement that the government would weaken environmental rules to increase housing developments.
He also had a meeting with Kuwait Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah in the early afternoon.
A train journey to Norwich from the capital normally takes around one hour and 45 minutes, with a return journey costing around £50.

Mr Sunak has been criticised in the past by Labour for "jetting around the country on taxpayer's money like an A-list celeb" for taking planes around England.
His apparent fondness for air travel has also seen his environmental credentials questioned due to private air transport's heavy impact on climate change.
