Durham Police have said that Dominic Cummings did break lockdown rules when he travelled 50 miles to Barnard Castle.

The Prime Minister’s top aide has come under fire for his 60-mile round trip to the beauty spot with his wife Mary Wakfield and four-year-old son on April 12.

Mr Cummings claims he made to the trip to test out his eye-sight to see if he was fit to drive after suffering coronavirus-related issues.   

The Brexiteer said he acted ‘lawfully’ at all times when making the 260 mile trip from London to Durham in a highly unusual press conference at No10 on Monday.
