Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of each of the continuity trade agreements that they have signed since leaving the EU on their plans for freeports and, in particular, the tariffs paid by companies based in freeports.
There is ongoing analysis on the benefits arising from freeports; the outcomes of this will shape how British businesses, including those utilising preferences as a result of the United Kingdom’s signed continuity agreements, can best make use of the opportunities that freeports create.
