Trade Minister Ivan McKee has said he is “perplexed” at the Scottish Greens’ opposition to plans for two freeports in Scotland.
The bid to create two special economic zones has led to the first major split between the Scottish National Party and the Scottish Greens since they signed a cooperation agreement last year.
Last week, the Scottish and UK governments announced a bidding process for two “green freeports” – areas which would offer tax incentives and lower tariffs.
