The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps he is taking to promote Scotland internationally.
Answered by Ian Murray
Brand Scotland, the Scotland Office’s programme of international trade and investment promotion, is about selling Scotland to the world.
I have already visited Norway, Singapore and Malaysia, to promote our food and drink, energy, and defence sectors. Next month, I will be in Washington D.C and New York for the famous Tartan Week.
Closer to home, I was delighted to meet my Honourable Friend last week to discuss how Brand Scotland can support some of his constituents’ finest products - Harris tweed and Scottish seafood - and I commend his outstanding work in this area.
