Ministers and officials at the ‘green’ department for energy and climate change have clocked up a bill of over £1.5 million for nearly 3,500 flights since the coalition came to power.

More than ten per cent of the flights – 362 – were business class but they made up over a third of a cost – £600,000.

DECC shelled out for business class for 32 domestic flights to short-haul destinations such as Glasgow and even Manchester, both easily accessible by train.
