Gordon Brown spent 4.6m pounds on globetrotting last year

London, July 17 (ANI): Brit Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been revealed to have spent 4.6million pounds flying round the world in private chartered aircraft over the last year at taxpayers' expense.

Turns out the travel fare is double the 2.3million pounds bill that Tony Blair ran up in his final year in Downing Street, reports the Daily Express.

The aircraft were used for summits and meetings with world leaders, according to documents released by Whitehall.

Many of Brown's 29 overseas trips ran into six figures, and a tour that took in New York, Brazil and Chile cost 743,341 pounds. (ANI)
