To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to make changes to the tied pub model.
Answer
The Scottish Government have no current plans to make changes to the tied pub model. Scottish Ministers met last year with representatives, who expressed an interest in making changes to the current tied pub arrangements. At that meeting Scottish Ministers encouraged the attendees to provide evidence that there was a need for change. We remain open to receive such evidence.

To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the potential impact of the UK Government's Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill on UK businesses that use the tied pub model in Scotland.
Answer
Since the measures of this Bill do not apply to Scotland, no assessment has been made on the potential impact of the UK Government’s Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Bill on the seven Pub Co. Companies that the legislation will apply to. Only four of these seven Pub Co Companies operate in Scotland, with their ownership accounting for around 10% of all pubs in Scotland.
