Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been fined for not wearing a seatbelt in a moving car while filming a social media video.

Lancashire Police said it had issued a 42-year-old man in London with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty.

Mr Sunak had previously apologised for the incident, saying it was an “error of judgement”.

Passengers caught failing to wear a seat belt when one is available can be given an on-the-spot fine of £100.

This can increase to £500 if the case goes to court.

The prime minister was in Lancashire when the video was filmed, during a trip across the north of England.

The video – to promote the government’s latest round of “levelling up” spending – was posted on Mr Sunak’s Instagram account.
