    “Exclusive: Since July 2024, donors have paid for MPs to go on some 658 overseas junkets, at a cost of £2.2m. The majority were funded by private companies, charities or wealthy individuals.

    But we found 165 trips were either funded by the foreign government concerned, or by UK-based ‘Friends Of’ groups dedicated to promoting the country in Westminster.

    In total, these 165 trips were valued at almost £695,000”
