International Trade Committee
The UK’s International Trade Committee has published its report on UK freeports. The report examines the objectives of the freeports policy, the package of measures available within the chosen sites, and the overall implementation of the policy. As freeport locations in England have now been announced by the Government, the Committee recommends that HM Treasury promptly publish an impact assessment for the policy and commission a full, independent evaluation of the implementation of the freeports policy within five years of the establishment of the first freeports.
