The effective operation of freeports was discussed by my Rt Hon. Friend the Secretary of State during her meeting including industry and the Mayor of the Tees Valley in October 2020. Further dialogue between businesses and HM Government will be vital to secure their success and we will make sure that traders can harness the potential that freeports present.
