The expectation of how businesses hoping to seek Liverpool City Region investment has been laid out in the aftermath of the P&O Ferries scandal.
Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram said companies that don’t meet the standards expected of an ethical business looking to trade in the city region “won’t be getting any of our money”. Mr Rotheram was responding to a question regarding proposed action against P&O Ferries after the firm sacked 800 seafarers last month.
Groups gathered outside the Port of Liverpool in Seaforth to protest the removal of the hundreds of workers by pre-recorded message. Metro Mayor Rotheram said he had met with campaigners at the port and conceded the city region’s options were limited in relation to that case.
