The Levelling-Up Minister prompted laughter from northern leaders after she skipped a major conference - and sent them a bizarre video by mistake.

But when organisers revealed the 29-year-old couldn't make the event, a short video was played instead showing Ms Davison talking about a recent appearance in the Commons.
