Lord Cunningham expensed flights worth 19,906 between 2022 and 2023 alone.

The 84-year-old ex-minister expensed more than 100,000 on flights between London and his home near Newcastle .

This is roughly four times the value of travel expenses claimed by fellow peer Lord Shipley.

Lord Cunningham has not broken any rules, but the relatively large expense claims have been questioned.
