Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will take steps to ensure that employment law is enforceable for all employees within the freeports announced in the Government's Budget 2021 on 3 March 2021.
The government is pleased to have announced the locations of 8 new English Freeports at Budget, including Solent. These new Freeports will create jobs in deprived communities across the country
Freeports are not deregulatory and the government will ensure that the UK’s high standards with respect to workers’ rights will not be compromised.
