Members are invited to join us for our first Virtual Hustings ahead of the Scottish Parliamentary elections on Thursday 6th May. 

Chaired by SWA’s Head of Public Affairs, Margaret Smith, members will have the chance to ask questions directly to senior party candidates from each of the five main Political Parties.

This is an opportunity to discuss the politicians' plans for Scotland as well as for wholesalers to ask questions about the issues that impact on your business.

Spaces are limited so we urge you to confirm your attendance by Friday 19^th March. 
 
Attendees are not obliged to ask questions but we are keen that many do. We are asking for some questions in advance to "get us started" and to ensure a range of different questions/topics are covered on the night but members will also be able to ask other questions at the event.
