And what about that other little problem? See here for a good summary of the issue. It took a longish email exchange between Subplot , the Department of International Trade and HM Treasury to establish that the terms of these free trade deals do not impact on the working of freeports.
Everyone hopes Liz Truss, the international trade secretary, realises how much it matters. The worry is that something, perhaps something important, falls between the cracks of the many government departments that have a hand in running the freeport process.
For Liverpool, the opportunity to talk about the freeport is a gift. The freeport has massively accelerated our promotion of the region — it has given us a significant platform. The freeport also gives the Liverpool City Region some of the weapons necessary to beat its global competitors. When Subplot 9 March last took a trot round the subject, consensus was that the Government has so much political capital invested in the project, it cannot afford to let freeports fizzle out.
That remains the widely-shared view. It is also widely accepted that the whole thing has been a bit improvised and not amazingly well thought through. Even so, there is enthusiasm. Yet there remains bashfulness about the competitive advantage freeports confer. This is odd. After all, the point of freeports is to give eight areas a competitive advantage over everywhere else.
But saying out loud that you hope for a competitive advantage is considered to be a terrible breach of etiquette. Squaring the circle will be essential if freeports are to deliver their full economic benefits. Three weeks after her appointment, the new Green leader of Lancaster City Council has opted for realism at the acre Canal Quarter. When Subplot last visited Lancaster 13 April , the acre Canal Quarter plan looked set to go nowhere fast.
More delays seemed inevitable to a scheme that has already taken 20 years. It does not store any personal data. Functional Functional.
