CBI Scotland responds to announcement of lock-down easing measures

Tracy Black, CBI Scotland Director, said:

“Further easing of lock-down measures will come as a relief to businesses across Scotland – particularly those in sectors that have been so significantly impacted.

“The publication of an indicative timetable for the re-opening of hospitality, leisure, and tourism businesses is hugely welcome and gives firms the opportunity to plan for reopening – while protecting staff and customers.

“While public health rightly remains the priority, the need for action to protect jobs and livelihoods remains urgent.”
