Wendy Chamberlain

Liberal Democrat — North East Fife

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 March 2025

Debate

Economic Growth

Contribution

The Scotch whisky industry is central to the economic growth of Scotland, and I was very pleased to hear from the Dispatch Box yesterday that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is not moving forward with its consultation on single malts. However, can the Secretary of State explain why we were in that position in the first place? What discussions were had between DEFRA and the Scotland Office before that consultation was opened?
