Freeports are being introduced around the UK.
The Scottish Government has been urged to “speed up” the process to deliver a freeport to the north-east amid claims it would create tens of thousands of jobs in the region.
A number of freeports – areas where trade can be carried out with relief from import duties and reduced administrative burdens – are expected to be created across the UK.
Now the Scottish Conservatives have called on Scottish Government ministers to accelerate the process – and warned “time is of the essence” if the north-east is to reap the benefits.
