Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what (a) discussions and (b) meetings his Department has held with the Northern Ireland Executive in delivering a Free Port in the Foyle constituency.

We plan to introduce up to 10 Freeports across the UK. Freeports will unleash the potential of our ports, regenerating communities across the UK.

We are working with the Devolved Administrations, including the Northern Ireland Executive, to enable the creation of Freeports across all four nations of the UK.

Specific locations will be chosen in due course according to a fair, open and transparent allocation process.
