The Government consultation on Freeports was launched on 10 February 2020 and runs for ten weeks.

The Government wants all the nations of the UK to be able to share in the benefits of Freeports. As such, the Government is committed to working with all the Devolved Administrations to develop a Freeport policy that works for Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, as well as England.
