FDF – Virtual post‑election devolved nations briefing

The 2026 Scottish Parliament and Senedd elections have now taken place, delivering important changes to the political landscape in both nations. With significant MSP and MS turnover and shifts in party representation, the new parliamentary term begins in a markedly different context for devolved policymaking.

Join us for a members‑only virtual briefing, analysing the election results and what they are likely to mean for food and drink manufacturers operating in, and selling into, Scotland and Wales. The session will explore emerging political dynamics, early signals from the new governments, and how policy priorities may evolve in the months ahead.

During the session, we will cover:

• Key election outcomes and what they tell us about the political direction of travel in Scotland and Wales
• Early implications for devolved policy agendas across skills, regulation, sustainability, health and economic growth
• Initial ministerial and committee appointments that have been confirmed – and why they matter
• Other politicians to watch
• What the new political context could mean for your business, and how we will position members’ priorities in early engagement with new devolved governments

This session will provide timely insight from the FDF teams in Scotland and Wales, alongside the opportunity to ask questions and discuss what comes next for devolved food and drink policy.
