Freeports: Wales and Scotland demand fair funding

But she added: “The UK Government is pressuring the Welsh Government to redirect its resources to deliver a UK Government policy priority. “This approach is unacceptable to us, and we have made clear that the UK Government needs to demonstrate the same level of financial commitment to freeports in Wales as they have in England.” Welsh economy minister Vaughan Gething added: “The UK Government’s continued refusal to engage constructively suggests that they would rather risk undermining devolution by implementing a flawed freeport without our support than work with us to deliver benefits for Wales.” Meanwhile, Scottish Government ministers have made plain they will “challenge any attempts by the UK Government to impose their model in Scotland by legislating in devolved areas”, insisting such a move would be a “breach of the spirit of the devolution settlement”.

Freeports: Devolution row erupts over UK plans that undermine Scottish economy

Eight locations in England have been chosen and it is thought two could be selected in Scotland. But the Scottish Government has instead drawn up its own proposals for green ports which would adapt the UK plans and offer incentives to businesses that adopt fair work practices and contribute to Scotland’s transition to a net zero emissions economy. Both the SNP Government and the Labour Welsh Government have not agreed to the plans being progressed – claiming UK ministers have not given assurances they will not legislate in devolved matters. Devolved ministers are also demanding answers from the UK Government on funding for the projects, claiming the Conservatives have been unwilling to guarantee that support for ports in Scotland and Wales would match amounts being offered in England.
