Bristol Port could become a 'free port'
Bristol Port could be one of six UK ports given 'free port' status if Boris Johnson becomes prime minister in a post-Brexit UK outside the EU's customs union rules. Six weeks ago the Bristol Port owners donated £25,000 to the Johnson leadership campaign.
In a show of even-handedness they also donated a similar sum to Jeremy Hunt's campaign.
In the early 90s, shortly after the Bristol Port Company took over the port from the city council on a 150-year lease, Jeremy Hunt worked on behalf of the port in securing Japanese business.
