Rishi Sunak re-established freeports while he was chancellor to offset post-Brexit tariffs and create conditions for long-term stable investment, indicating their potential for economic recovery.
Economic growth is the number one mission of this government, measured in living standards going up, and people feeling better off, in well paid jobs across every part of the United Kingdom.
Ministers are expected to announce changes to the freeports model, including improving oversight from local councils and mayors, aligning them with the government's industrial strategy.
Targeted programmes that attract investment and generate jobs and growth for local people, underpinned by our industrial strategy, will turbocharge the potential of areas across the country.
