As part of a Government reshuffle that took place this week (Monday 17th February) the First Minister has appointed Fiona Hyslop, also the local Constituency MSP for Linlithgow, as her Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Fair Work and Culture.

“I am delighted to be appointed by the First Minister to the position of Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Fair Work and Culture in the Scottish Government.
