British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak unveiled plans Friday to create two "green" free ports to attract post-Brexit business and jobs to Scotland...
Sunak, fresh from what he called robust but constructive talks with Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, announced a drive to bolster investment two years after Britain’s exit from the European Union. Free ports — similar to free zones or enterprise zones — are specially designated areas, usually found near ports or airports.
“We’ve got lots of challenges that we all face collectively around the UK — and where we can work together and make a difference we should,” Sunak told the BBC in Scotland.Officials said the ports qualified as “green” because they will aim to attract businesses focussed on renewable energy including offshore wind as well as carbon capture.
