FDF Scotland

On 12 March, ahead of the 2021 Scottish Parliament elections, Food and Drink Federation (FDF) Scotland held a hustings event. This podcast is the second in a three part series featuring highlights from the hustings.

In part two, the candidates from each of the main political parties answer questions around the best ways to support the recovery and growth of the food and drink industry. This includes supporting businesses to recover from the  impacts of Covid-19 and the changes brought about by Brexit. 

The event was chaired by freelance food and drink journalist Karen Peattie.

We were joined by a candidate from each of the main political parties:   

  • Jamie Halcro Johnston, the Scottish Conservatives
  • Mags Hall, the Scottish Greens
  • Rhoda Grant, Scottish Labour
  • Liam McArthur, the Scottish Liberal Democrats and
  • Fergus Ewing, the Scottish National Party.
