The UK prime minister has scrapped a government helicopter contract – thought to be worth £40 million.
Rishi Sunak was criticised for his use of helicopters during his time in Number 10.
The contract was set to be renewed, but is now being scrapped by Downing Street and the Ministry of Defence.
It is designed to illustrate a break with the previous administration – ahead of a speech in which the prime minister will argue things will not be “business as usual” when parliament returns next week.
