MONEY saving expert Martin Lewis has been asking people what they want to know about the budget ahead of an interview in the North-East tonight.

Mr Lewis is thought to have arrived in Darlington after tweeting a picture last night, when he travelled to the region.

Yesterday, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced the town would be the new home of the Treasury North campus, where 750 jobs will be relocated, as well as a free port in Teesside.

Mr Sunak will be interviewed by the personal finance expert for The Martin Lewis Money Show for a budget special.

He also appeared live from Teesside this morning for Great Morning Britain. 

Tweeting about the area this morning, he said: “I've not seen much, but the River Tees outside my hotel window looks beautiful. And the hotel staff have been superb and friendly.”

Mr Sunak is in Teesside today giving interviews about yesterday’s budget.
