Greenpeace activists have covered Rishi Sunak's North Yorkshire home in oil-black fabric after climbing on the roof of the property.
Four activists used ladders and climbing ropes to reach the roof of the manor house in Kirby Sigston before unfolding the 200sq m of fabric.
According to reports, Sunak is on holiday in California so was not in his home this morning.
Reports said that police are now at the property.
Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden is standing in for Sunak during his holiday.
He has defended the government's decision to drill for oil and gas, saying that they are needed as part of their ‘energy mix’.
