Rishi Sunak has apologised for removing his seatbelt to film a social media clip while a passenger in the back seat of a car.
The PM’s spokesman said he had made an “error of judgment” by briefly removing his seatbelt during a trip to the north of England.
The video – to promote the latest round of “levelling up” spending – was posted on Mr Sunak’s Instagram account.
The spokesman added the PM “believes everyone should wear a seatbelt”.
