Accommodation & food services
Table 4 shows the profile of accommodation & food services in relation to all business sectors (excluding finance) in 2014. Accounting for 10% of employment (the same as manufacturing), this sector has a lower productivity than manufacturing - it accounts for only 4% of GVA.
There needs to be much greater transparency and accountability, and an opportunity for the Scottish Parliament’s committees to scrutinise the decisions of both Governments when they relate to devolved areas.
I do not know whether Mr Bibby supports that, but it would allow for greater accountability of the Scottish Government, so I am sure that Labour members would welcome it.
