Recommendation 6

Building a gigafactory will require support from central Government Departments, local authorities and private companies such as National Grid. The transaction cost of co-ordinating between these bodies should not fall on investors. A single project office integrating the full panoply of public support drawn from the various bodies involved is required, and the Department for Business and Trade should take on that lead role, as ‘gold command’.
