The new Prime Minister should follow in the footsteps of the SNP Scottish Government by championing the industry at home and abroad and scrap its tax hikes which have slowed the sector's success.

Westminster has consistently taken an undemocratic approach to Scotland’s people and their calls for a vote.
Scotland just delivered an overwhelming majority of pro-independence MSPs to the Scottish Parliament - the largest number in history - their demand for a fresh vote deserves to be heard.
But the tax hikes imposed on the industry by Labour and Tory MPs at Westminster have driven down sales, brought down tax revenue, and placed enormous pressures on distilleries across Scotland.
Unlike the UK Government, the SNP will always stand up for Scotland’s whisky and spirits trade and it’s high time the Labour Government backed this successful industry and ended their supertax on Scotland’s premier drink.
