County Durham town chosen ahead of other mooted locations such as Bradford, Leeds and Newcastle
Rishi Sunak has announced that a long-awaited new Treasury campus in northern England will be situated in Darlington.
The chancellor said the town in County Durham had been chosen “after a lot of thought and energy”, in an all-staff video message seen by the Guardian released just before he departed from No 11 for the House of Commons to deliver the budget.
