Lord Leong (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2025

Debate

Multilateral Free Trade

Contribution

I thank the noble Lord for that question. The Scottish whisky industry is the second most productive sector in Scotland, ranked just after renewable energies, and contributes £7 billion towards the UK economy. People from right across the world, in India, China and Japan, enjoy the flavoursome nature of Scotch whisky. We should encourage more people to enjoy Scotch whisky. I might need a stiff one after this.
