Following on from his reappointment this week as Secretary of State for Scotland, Mr Mundell visited north-east Scotland today to hear the priorities of fishermen and other north-east businesses ahead of EU exit.

In Peterhead Mr Mundell toured the fish market, spoke to traders and fishermen, then met representatives from the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation.

In Aberdeen he met small and medium-sized businesses from a number of sectors – including tourism, food and tech – at a roundtable hosted by Aberdeen and Grampian Chambers of Commerce.
