Holyhead Port: UK Trade with EU
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions he has had with the Welsh government on increasing the economic potential of Holyhead Port relative to UK - Ireland trade.
Answered by Chris Bryant
Department for Business and Trade ministers and officials engage regularly with the Welsh Government on the modern industrial strategy, including the economic potential of Holyhead Port and Freeport. The Port of Holyhead carries substantial trade between Ireland and the UK. UKG has invested £20 million into the breakwater at the port, and Holyhead’s potential will be further advanced by the designation of the AI Growth Zone, as well the selection of Wylfa as the preferred site for small modular nuclear in the UK. UKG and WG officials have been working closely together to ensure these opportunities are maximised.
