Select Committee Inquiry
16 Jul 2026
Scotland’s whisky industry: Tariffs, trade and growth
Scottish Affairs Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 18 Sep 2026)


Scotch whisky is one of Scotland’s most globally recognised products and the UK’s largest drink export. The industry contributes substantial economic value and supports 41,000 jobs across Scotland. Whisky also carries cultural significance and plays a central role in rural economies. However, recent global volatility and a rise in protectionist measures have contributed to a slowdown in Scotch whisky exports, while market trends are also shifting. At the same time, the sector is facing a number of domestic pressures, such as rising energy costs and the introduction of a Deposit Return Scheme. This inquiry will examine these challenges, and explore how UK Government policies on trade, duty and domestic regulation are shaping the future of this key Scottish industry.

Read the call for evidence for more details about the inquiry. 

The deadline for submissions is Friday 18 September 2026 at 23:59.

9 Sep 2026
The financial regulation of political parties in Scotland
Scottish Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

At its meeting on 9 September, the Committee agreed to inquire into the Electoral Commission's oversight of the funding and governance of political parties in Scotland, and the policies, processes and safeguards associated with the distribution of Short Money to political parties. Further information on the scope of this inquiry will be published in due course.

9 Sep 2026
The dual role of The Lord Advocate
Scottish Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

The Lord Advocate and her deputy the Solicitor General for Scotland each assume a “dual role” being both senior government legal advisers, and senior public prosecutors. There is a long-standing and ongoing political and constitutional debate within Scotland about whether the dual role should be split to better mitigate actual and/or perceived conflicts of interest between the two functions. This inquiry will appraise the case for and against splitting the dual role, and exploring different options for reform.

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry.
