The LibDems have an interesting idea..... Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper is arguing for the Treasury to be re-organised into a Dept. of Growth, absorbing the Dept. for Business &Trade; based in Birmingham it would signal a strategic intent to be nationally focussed not privileging the economy of the South East/London.

Some will be disappointed that the idea of growth remains central to the LibDems approach, but this would certainly make for an interesting move if accomplished.
