Member briefing

FDF – Virtual post‑election devolved nations briefing

The Scottish Parliament and Senedd elections take place on 7 May. Join us for a members‑only virtual briefing on the outcome of these elections – a pivotal moment that is expected to reshape the political landscape across both nations.

With significant turnover anticipated in Holyrood and the Senedd, including many MSPs and MSs standing down, this year’s elections are likely to result in major shifts in party balance, ministerial portfolios and parliamentary priorities. Our session will unpack the results and explore what they mean for food and drink manufacturers in Scotland and Wales.

During the session, we will cover:

  • Key election outcomes and emerging political dynamics in Scotland and Wales
  • Early implications for governments’ policy agendas across skills, regulation, sustainability, health and economic growth
  • Initial ministerial and committee appointments to watch
  • What the new political context could mean for your business, and how FDF Scotland and FDF Cymruwill position members’ priorities in early engagement with new devolved governments

This will be an important opportunity to hear expert insight from the FDF team and ask questions about the potential direction of devolved policymaking following these elections.
