The Scottish National Party is campaigning for “higher prices” for Scottish whisky, Jacob Rees-Mogg has suggested.
The claim came after the Cabinet Office minister was asked by the SNP's Martin Docherty-Hughes whether the UK Government would seek to protect whisky prices from cheap imports, as it searches for new trade partners.
The West Dunbartonshire MP asked: “In terms of open trade can he make some clarification about friendly nations? Does that include India shipping cheap Indian whisky to the United Kingdom?”
