Iain Stewart – 2021 Comments on Scottish Distilleries

The comments made by Iain Stewart, the UK Government Minister for Scotland, on 20 March 2021.

Right across Scotland, from Edinburgh to Orkney, it’s wonderful to see so many distilleries moving forward to the next stage of this competition, allowing them to bid for a share of £8.9 million UK Government funding.

This funding will support local businesses to cut carbon emissions and create sustainable jobs, helping us build back greener as we prepare to host COP26 in Scotland later this year.
