How do we get the Financial services industry as it was in the 19th century to move closer to the then industrial heartland of what is now the M62 corridor? End result is that the stock exchange is in Liverpool or Manchester. OK wrong side of the pennines but at least not in London. Would this just transfer the London problem (ie most of money and jobs there) to southern Lancashire or is everything more evenly spread around UK?
