Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether nationally-secured sectoral industrial agreements covering matters of health and safety and rights at work will apply as equally to freeports as they apply to rest of the UK.
Bidders set out the proposed membership for their Governance Body in their bids. As stated in the Prospectus, final governance structures will be agreed between bidders and HMG.
Businesses in Freeports – like any other business in the UK – will have to adhere to the UK’s high regulatory standards. Our Freeport model ensures that the UK’s high standards with respect to security, safety, workers’ rights, data protection, biosecurity and the environment will not be compromised.
