Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson
TORY Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson MP clocked up costly air miles last year as he jetted around the world to promote the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The hawkish minister made over 20 foreign trips at taxpayers’ expense, with one journey alone costing a quarter of the £156,000 total, according to newly released government data.
His most expensive trip was to Nigeria in November 2018, where he posed with local troops who are fighting Boko Haram militants.
