Question
To ask the Scottish Government what engagement it has had with the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers regarding plans to allow self-catering accommodation businesses to trade again when it is safe to do so.
Answer
The Scottish Government’s sector guidance for Tourism & Hospitality has been developed in partnership with industry and unions through a sub-group of the Scottish Tourism Emergency Response Group, of which the Association of Scotland’s Self-caterers (ASSC) is a member. I have also engaged in a number of helpful conference calls with the ASSC to discuss the specific concerns and requirements of the self-catering sector.
