Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament on 28th September 2022.
Yes, we have regular engagement with the retail sector and the wider business community. I co-chaired the first meeting of the newly inaugurated retail industry leadership group on 25 August. We discussed a variety of issues, including the implementation of our retail strategy—particularly developing a fair work agreement and commencing a skills audit, which are both identified as key priorities in the strategy.
The next meeting of the group will be in early November and I am happy to keep members updated on its progress.
