Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities written question – answered am ar 9 Mehefin 2023.
Lord Kilclooney
Crossbench
To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to identify a freeport in Northern Ireland.
Baroness Scott of Bybrook
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)
The Government has agreed and announced freeports with the Scottish and Welsh Governments and had previously engaged with the Northern Ireland Executive on this issue. However, given the absence of a functioning Northern Ireland Executive since February 2022, it is not possible to take this any further forward. The Government looks forward to pursuing further discussions with a restored Executive on extending the benefits of the freeports programme across the UK.
