To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of Solent Freeport conversion into an Investment Area on international trade opportunities in the region, including for the Isle of Wight.

The Government is committed to levelling up areas across the country. UK Freeports, like Solent, are fantastic places for businesses to grow, innovate and collaborate. They are capitalising on Freeport tax, customs, and planning benefits, and the region’s clean energy and maritime opportunities, to develop as national hubs for trade and global investment. These benefits remain unchanged by Investment Zones.
While the Government is still considering our approach to Investment Zones, we are grateful for the Expressions of Interest submitted, which officials are assessing. The Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities will confirm next steps in due course.
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, for what reason the entirety of the New Forest has been included within the provisional boundary of the proposed Solent Freeport.

By delivering investment on specific priority sites, Freeports will create thousands of high-quality jobs in some of our most disadvantaged communities. These sites have been carefully selected for their suitability for development by the local Freeport coalition, which comprises key private partners and Local Authorities who, importantly, provide democratic accountability for the actions of the Freeport. The development sites sit within an ‘outer boundary’ which sets the limit for how far apart they can be and broadly indicates the area they expect to benefit most directly from the Freeport's economic impacts. While the Solent Freeport outer boundary intersects with the New Forest National Park, this in no way means that the area has been earmarked for development nor does this confer any special planning status. Local authorities retain all their statutory powers and responsibilities, including responsibility for providing planning permission. Freeport status in no way undercuts the local planning process and there is no change to the current planning and environment status of national parks.
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they decided to establish Southampton as a freeport whether they had any discussions with AB Ports regarding the powers and charges of Harbour Revision Orders relating to users of the harbour waters.

Freeports were selected through an open and transparent process based on consideration of the criteria in the Freeports Bidding Prospectus [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/freeports-bidding-prospectus] and in accordance with the Freeports Decision-Making Note [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/freeports-bidding-prospectus/english-freeports-selection-decision-making-note].
Harbour Revision Orders (HRO) (which is a devolved process handled by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) for English ports) can be used to alter a range of port powers. Any initial discussions regarding a possible HRO would take place with the MMO initially, with other departments only becoming involved at the consultation stage of the order.
