Labour — West Dunbartonshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2024

Debate

Scotland’s Economy

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend agree that the recently released Scottish Government industry statistics reveal worrying trends in Scotland’s food and drink sector, with output in the food and drink sector falling, employment falling and businesses failing? Those figures are absolutely scandalous. Both the SNP and the Tory Government failed to support Scotland’s world-class food and drink industry adequately. In my constituency of West Dunbartonshire, the whisky industry is a significant employer, so will food and drink be a key growth industry identified in our Government’s blueprint for growth, thereby maximising Brand Scotland and job opportunities in West Dunbartonshire?
