Local MP Seamus Logan has been appointed as his party’s spokesperson on agriculture, fisheries and the environment and will shadow the work of DEFRA (the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) at Westminster.
Commenting on his appointment, Seamus Logan MP said:
“I am delighted to have been appointed as spokesperson on these matters by the SNP Parliamentary Leader Stephen Flynn MP.
“The DEFRA brief encompasses two of the most important industries in the North-east which are major contributors to the local and national economy. The environment as well is – rightly – assuming more importance in government and local decision-making and this is already being reflected in my inbox as a new MP.
“I will be undertaking regular engagement with the various industry bodies and stakeholders as part of my role and I look forward to playing my part in scrutinising the new UK Government’s legislation as it affects Scotland.”
