Recommendation
We recommend that the Government build a secondment pool of 100–200 staff from HM Treasury, the Department for Business and Trade, and the British Business Bank to place into Mayoral Strategic Authorities and other local bodies. These secondments should have an explicit aim of strengthening knowledge of how best to support businesses to raise the 129 finance they need, raising awareness of possible financing options in local bodies and helping MSA’s build a pipeline of ‘term-sheet ready’ investment propositions. (Recommendation, Paragraph 231)
