Conservatives lobby for upgrade of Liverpool’s Cruise Liner Terminal
Jul 31 2009

SHADOW Home Secretary Chris Grayling has called on the Department for Transport to relax rules preventing cruise liners from starting and finishing their journeys at the Pier Head.
The DfT has to give its approval before a “turnaround” facility can be provided at the £20m Cruise Liner Terminal because of a £9m grant from the European Union that helped fund it.
Mr Grayling, who also acts as shadow minister for Merseyside, said it was logical and reasonable that ships could start and finish their journeys at the Pier Head.
