Brexit ‘freedom’ is bringing a freeport to Wales for the first time says Welsh Secretary

The Government is using its Brexit “freedom” to “bring a freeport to Wales for the very first time”, Welsh Secretary Sir Robert Buckland has said.

Speaking to Conservative Party members at Birmingham's International Convention Centre (ICC), Mr Buckland said: "We are using our freedom outside of the EU to bring a freeport to Wales for the very first time."

On plans for a freeport, he said: "Backed by millions of pounds of UK Government funding, a freeport will bring renewed growth to Welsh communities and it’s why we’re helping families and firms directly with the energy price guarantee, so that no-one will go cold this winter. This is what taking back control can deliver for Wales."
