The UK Government has been told it should reconsider its decision to snub a Glasgow bid to be one of the country's freeports to boost the economy and create jobs. The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, announced that Cromarty and Forth would be given the freeport status to give it tax incentives to attract investment. The two beat other bids including a Glasgow Region bid involving the airport, Mossend Rail Freight terminal and the River Clyde.
