Question
Will the Minister provide an update on the development of Wales's two freeports?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Economy
We continue to work with the UK Government and partners across Wales to make sure our freeports are supported to harness Wales’ economic potential and contribute to ambitions in our Economic Mission for a more prosperous, equal, and greener economy.
In December 2023, the Celtic and Anglesey freeport consortia submitted their Outline Business Cases (OBCs). These have been jointly assessed by officials from both the Welsh and UK governments and have been through a joint government moderation process. Advice and recommendations from officials are being sent in parallel to Welsh and UK Ministers for decision.
I also refer the Member to the written statement I published on 6 March.
