HC Deb 11 February 1981 vol 998 c339W
14. Mr. Pollock

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has any plans to meet leaders of the Scotch whisky distillers, to discuss future prospects for the industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

My right hon. Friend has no immediate plans for a meeting with the Scotch whisky industry but, together with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, is in close touch with the representatives of the whisky industry and is fully aware of the problems currently facing it.
