Foreign secretary referred himself to Environment Agency after hosting Vance at Chevening country retreat
David Lammy has received a formal warning after reporting himself for fishing without a licence with the US vice-president, JD Vance.
The foreign secretary took Vance angling at his official country retreat in Chevening, Kent, on 8 August as he hosted him at the start of a holiday in Britain.
It later emerged Lammy did not possess the required licence for rod fishing, with a Foreign Office spokesperson blaming an “administrative oversight” and saying the minister had subsequently bought a licence.
Lammy referred himself to the Environment Agency over the incident.
