The following is taken from the Centre for Policy Studies report 'The Free Ports Opportunity. How Brexit could boost trade, manufacturing and the North' authored by Rishi Sunak, Conservative MP for Richmond: 

Brexit will provide the UK with new economic freedom, and the Government should take the opportunity to create Free Ports across the nation. Free Ports will simultaneously: increase manufacturing output, create employment regionally where it is most needed, and promote trade. Using Free Ports to drive economic growth will also re-connect Britain with its proud maritime history as a trading nation and act as a beacon of British values, signalling the country’s openness to the world.

In an excellent article in today's Telegraph, Tony Lodge from the Centre for Policy Studies, makes the case for more competition on the railways. Or as I put it, full privatisation, rather than John Major's botched privatisation that we have at the moment. Full privatisation means competition, rather than the 'take it or leave it' option most passengers have at the moment.
