A good move from the country's lawyers. Let's hope Laurel & Hardy aka BoJo & Cummings seize this opportunity to give the EU a free trade deal.
Quote:
A group of the UK’s most senior state aid lawyers have written to Boris Johnson offering to help design a post-Brexit subsidy regime for the UK and break the deadlock in the current EU-UK trade negotiations.
In an open letter to the prime minister the lawyers — drawn from across the spectrum of opinion on Brexit — offered to establish a “Subsidy Control Advisory Group” in order to “massively accelerate” the policy design process.
“We would like to offer the British government our help to set up such a regime in whatever way you deem most useful,” they wrote.
It was signed by members of the UK State Aid Law Association and other prominent lawyers, including pro-Brexit voices, like Martin Howe QC, and those more critical of the government, such as George Peretz QC.
