The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, when he next plans to meet the Scotch Whisky Association.

Answered by Ian Murray

I have had several meetings with the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) in recent months, including during my first week in office, and am pleased to be working closely with them on a range of shared priorities.

I will be driving growth in Scotland around the world through the Brand Scotland initiative, and will work closely with the SWA to promote the UKs largest food and drink export across all four corners of the globe.
