answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2022 answer text <p>Freeports are playing a crucial role in our post-COVID-19 recovery, helping to build back better, drive clean growth and contribute to realising the Levelling Up agenda. We have designated tax sites through secondary legislation in four Freeports and we will continue to designate more tax sites this year. Legislation has also been laid to underpin the customs and VAT regime and two customs sites have been already designated in law in different Freeports. HMG continues to support Freeports with the delivery of their customs sites and will continue to designate customs sites as the relevant criteria are demonstrated. Maps for designated tax and customs site are available on gov.uk. Freeports will be fully operational following designation of tax and primary customs sites, with seed funding to be released on approval of their full business cases, expected later this year.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 23/02/2022 10:16:39 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
