Burnham to work from No 10 North for first time

Andy Burnham will hold his first meeting at the new No 10 North in Manchester later on Friday.

The branch of Downing Street in the North West will form part of the prime minister's aim to shift power from Whitehall and Westminster to regions across the country.

Ministers Lucy Powell and Louise Haigh will also operate regularly from the new site, with up to 300 civil servants expected to join them by the end of next year.
