Agents in Scotland are to benefit from a £5 million in support, the Scottish parliament has confirmed.

The SPAA will return to Holyrood on Wednesday (23 June) for travel's day of action

Dobson believes the SPAA's voice is well heard by the Scottish government after the association and its members marched on Holyrood during Covid

In a statement, the Scottish government confirmed the help to agents as part of a £185 million business support package, which it said had followed discussions with business groups.

Finance secretary Kate Forbes told parliament: “We have listened to businesses, and this assistance will be provided on a sector-by-sector basis, targeted at those who need it most.

"I can also announce that further support of £60 million will be provided to the tourism sector, details of which will be developed in consultation with the industry.”

More detail on the package will be announced in the coming days and businesses can expect to apply for all the new grant schemes in January.
