The Scottish Chambers of Commerce Network has called on the next SNP leader and First Minister to back Scotland's businesses by committing to economic growth as their number one priority.
In an open letter, the organisation asked each candidate to commit to tackling the most urgent issues facing the business community:
- Will economic growth be your number one priority?
- Will you appoint a Minister for Economic Growth and Investment on day one of taking office?
- Will you commit to removing existing and future regulation which is increasing the cost of doing business?
- Will you finally reform Business Rates and ensure UK rates reliefs are equalised for Scotland’s hospitality, tourism and leisure sectors?
