The WAML and GEML recasts can be done separately, and ideally will be to spread the workload for everyone.
But I wouldn’t want to be the person advising the stakeholders, or the Secretary of State, that they have to wait 3 1/2 years...
You see I was referring to this post in which you said:
No chance before then. It also has to be done at a different time to the WA recast, which has to tie in with the ECML recast, and I’ll leave it there for the speculators.
Now not being a betting man but with a feel for things in that area at the moment, I wouldn't bet on ECML being recast in Dec 2021 given progress, or lack thereof, with various important aspects of infrastructure work associated with that recast. Which would indeed make Dec 2023 realistic for GEML all things considered?
And there's no obvious way for Grant Schapps to "accelerate" delivery of the timetable without compromising performance when Priti Patel and others behind the taskforce are told they will just have to wait!
