Labour — Glenrothes and Mid Fife

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 February 2026

Debate

China and Japan

Contribution

It was a privilege to serve with Jim Wallace in Holyrood, and I associate myself with the tributes to him. We have had trade deals with Europe, China and India worth hundreds of millions of pounds to Scottish businesses, and defence contracts that secure thousands of jobs. Can the Prime Minister tell us how he will build on this success for Scotland? Does he agree that it is about time the Scottish Government showed the same ambition for Scottish businesses?
