The All-Party Parliamentary Scotch Whisky and Spirits Group and minimum pricing

Former Vice Chair of the group David Mundell (Conservative) offered support to Labour on the issue of minimum pricing by saying that, the SNP must “think again” because it would increase prices of Scotch at home and allow other countries to impose tariffs of one of Scotland’s premier products. He said this in response to job losses from Diageo in Kilmarnock, arguing that the situation should not be made worse by introducing minimum pricing. [4]
