Liz Truss's Foreign Office spend at Norwich City shop questioned

Liz Truss is facing questions over Foreign Office spending, including £1,841 at Norwich City's online shop during her time as foreign secretary.

Labour's shadow attorney general Emily Thornberry queried the use of Foreign Office expense cards, up 45% on last year, in a letter to the department.

She asked why officials had incurred a number of costs, including two payments to the then Premier League club.

The Foreign Office has been approached for comment.

The payments were made on two dates: £1,318 on 21 October and £523.50 on 21 March.

At the time, South West Norfolk MP Liz Truss was leading the department as foreign secretary.
