Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he last discussed freeports with the Welsh Government; and what the outcomes were of those discussions.

Freeports will allow the UK to take advantage of the benefits of leaving the EU, they will level up the regions by spreading opportunity, and help drive our economic recovery from the impacts of Covid-19.

We want to ensure that the whole of the UK can benefit, not just England. We remain in ongoing discussions to establish at least one Freeport in Wales as soon as possible.
