THE UK Government has been accused of a “serious breach of trust” after allegedly bypassing the Scottish Government by disclosing information on a new Scottish freeport to the press.
The Press and Journal on Wednesday reported that Cromarty Firth will be one of the two sites to gain freeport status in Scotland, which allows an area substantial tax breaks.
The newspaper cited “UK Government sources”, adding that it means a joint bid from Aberdeen and Peterhead is likely to fail.
