Scottish Parliament: Bus Services (17 May 2023)

Fiona Hyslop: ...operators—McGill’s and Lothian Buses—they cite driver shortages as one of the major reasons for declining service provision. We know that driver shortages are a direct result of the impact of Brexit, which the people of Scotland did not vote for, and that the UK Government’s current immigration system further limits potential recruitment of European Union drivers. I suspect that I...

Scottish Parliament: European Policy Alignment ( 1 Mar 2023)

Fiona Hyslop: ..., can join the European Union as seamlessly as possible? Can he also confirm that, with all the United Kingdom’s political parties—Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat—embracing Brexit and having no intention of rejoining the EU, the only road to Scotland joining the EU is through independence?

Scottish Parliament: Carbon Neutral Islands Project (19 Jan 2023)

Fiona Hyslop: ...are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, that they face particular cost of living issues and that they are trying to recover from the pandemic and the continuing repercussions of Brexit. It is ironic that—there is outright anger about this—according to figures for last year from Energy Action Scotland, 40 per cent of the people who live in the Western Isles live in fuel...

Scottish Parliament: Brexit (Impact on Economy) (18 Jan 2023)

Fiona Hyslop: 3. To ask the Scottish Government what the continuing impact of Brexit is on Scotland’s key economic sectors. (S6O-01782)

Scottish Parliament: Brexit (Impact on Economy) (18 Jan 2023)

Fiona Hyslop: Does the minister agree that Brexit was never a one-off event and that it is having a continuous negative effect on our economy, with no apparent positives? Businesses that export are more likely to pursue innovations, so, with Scottish exporters continuing to face growing challenges in trading with countries in the EU, the continuing effect of Brexit will also impact on innovations in our...

Scottish Parliament: Meat Exports (United Kingdom Regulations) ( 9 Nov 2022)

Fiona Hyslop: ...of Meat Wholesalers has been clear about its concerns that businesses “stand to lose millions of pounds of export business unless DEFRA relents”. The UK Government has already forced Brexit on Scotland’s farmers and producers; it should be looking to make things easier, not harder. In the cabinet secretary’s engagement with the secretary of state, has she received any other...

Scottish Parliament: Economic Transformation (21 Sep 2022)

Fiona Hyslop: ...the poorest people in the UK. Other countries have also experienced Covid disruption and the impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine, but none has instigated its own self-inflicted economic damage of Brexit and leaving the European Union. A third of companies reducing their exports is beyond alarming. Scotland means business. The UK is stunting our growth potential and if we want economic...

Scottish Parliament: Northern Ireland Protocol Bill (29 Jun 2022)

Fiona Hyslop: ...—serious diplomacy, not arrogant posturing and politicking—and discussion and negotiation between the EU and the UK, and I welcome the sentiment of what Donald Cameron said in that regard. Brexit is not done. Brexit is still with us. It is happening. It is causing economic loss, curbing exports to the biggest market in the world and causing staffing shortages in key industries, which...

Scottish Parliament: United Kingdom Shared Prosperity Fund (27 Apr 2022)

Fiona Hyslop: ...funding and why. The ludicrous position regarding how other EU funds have operated to the detriment of geographical needs in areas such as the Highlands is out of touch and out of line with need. Brexit has not finished—if anything, it is just getting started. Almost six years on from the vote to leave the EU, which Scotland did not vote for, there is still no clear or concise plan. It...

Scottish Parliament: Budget (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1 (27 Jan 2022)

Fiona Hyslop: ...economic growth returned to pre-pandemic levels in November. Scotland is developing, delivering and building on economic strengths in key sectors for a modern economy. On the negative, the drag of Brexit continues to hinder economic growth. The Office for Budget Responsibility has forecast that Brexit will reduce the UK’s potential productivity at twice the level of the Covid pandemic...

Scottish Parliament: Programme for Government 2021-22 ( 8 Sep 2021)

Fiona Hyslop: ..., set out in the programme for government. We face the twin pressures of Covid recovery and the drive to net zero but, unlike other countries, we do so in the context of an unmanaged and damaging Brexit. I know that the Government has a relentless focus on the mitigation of Covid impacts, but that cannot, and must not, constrain our drive to net zero. In a world that has changed so much,...

Scottish Parliament: Brexit (Economic Impacts) (18 Mar 2021)

Fiona Hyslop: The Scottish Government is deeply concerned by emerging evidence that Brexit is having a severe impact on the ability of Scottish businesses to trade effectively and competitively with the European Union, with lasting consequences for our economy. Scottish Government ministers remain in regular contact with UK ministers about the economic impact of Brexit and are pressing for urgent support...

Scottish Parliament: Covid-19 Economic Impact (Highlands) (24 Feb 2021)

Fiona Hyslop: ...The economy is recovering and continues to broadly track the United Kingdom economy as a whole. However, the recovery is fragile, will be gradual and is subject to uncertainty about the impacts of Brexit. The most recent Highlands and Islands Enterprise business panel survey showed that half of businesses in the Highlands and Islands are operating below the level that they were operating...

Scottish Parliament: Workers’ Rights Post-Brexit (27 Jan 2021)

Fiona Hyslop: ...time directive. We are committed to working with trade unions to protect the health and wellbeing of the workforce. We continue to engage with the UK Government on its plans relating to post-Brexit labour market reforms, including the planned employment bill, and we take every opportunity to promote our progressive fair work agenda. Our ability to tackle unfair working practices and to...

Scottish Parliament: Workers’ Rights Post-Brexit (27 Jan 2021)

Fiona Hyslop: ...that workers need. It would be naive to believe that a UK Government review of EU workers’ rights would automatically lead to better protection for workers, given, as the member said, the broken Brexit promises that we have recently seen. That is just more evidence that full powers over employment should be transferred to the Scottish Government, so that the Scottish Parliament can set...

Scottish Parliament: Scottish National Investment Bank ( 2 Dec 2020)

Fiona Hyslop: ...of the areas that we have been talking about. I say as gently as possible that we must also anticipate the disruption that we cannot deny is likely to come in January, February and March because of Brexit. It is important that we are in a position to support companies and supply chains during that period of disruption. As of now, we do not know what kind of deal there will be or whether...

Scottish Parliament: Economic Recovery Implementation Plan (12 Aug 2020)

Fiona Hyslop: ...approaches to deal with other external issues that face the economy, such as the end of the European Union transition period. The chamber must and will return to discuss the economic reality of Brexit for businesses and jobs. Beyond the measures that we can take directly, we will also continue to press the UK Government to recognise the specific nature of Scotland’s economy and to put in...

Scottish Parliament: Labour Market Trends (16 Jul 2020)

Fiona Hyslop: The biggest single market is the European single market, and the biggest challenge to jobs after Covid will be Brexit. Our leaving the biggest single market in which we could operate will have a real impact on jobs and training. We can certainly look at retraining funds as part of the £100 million package that I announced today. Transition training by upskilling and reskilling individuals...

Scottish Parliament: Labour Market Trends (16 Jul 2020)

Fiona Hyslop: ...needed skills in our health and care departments that they are unwelcome. That is among the most shocking things that I have seen from the current UK Government in relation to what it is doing with Brexit. We are living with Covid, and we will live with it for some time to come, but the new immigration rules do not serve Scotland or our health and care system, and they will be very...

Scottish Parliament: Economic Recovery (23 Jun 2020)

Fiona Hyslop: ...a light on the importance of care for both children and older people, which is important for a value-based recovery. Gillian Martin identified for the north-east the four pressure points of Covid, Brexit, oil prices and climate change. Looking at the analysis on that will be important in our response.
