Google boss Sundar Pichai explains £1bn UK investment


Google chief executive Sundar Pichai has announced the company will go ahead with a new headquarters in the UK, creating up to 3,000 news jobs and totalling an estimated £1bn in extra investment.

Mr Pichai said the UK was still an attractive place to do business after the Brexit vote because it was open and connected and had a healthy marketplace for scientists.

He also addressed the controversy over Google’s tax affairs saying the company was happy to pay its fair share.
