A £7m fund to explore how the Olympics could be brought to northern England will be announced in John Healey's first Budget on Wednesday, the BBC has learned.

The chancellor plans to allocate the money for a full feasibility study on the possibility for a bid for a "Northern Games".

If successful, it could see the games held in the North in the 2040s.
