What plans it has to address the crisis facing Scotland's lamb industry and whether it intends to offer any assistance to help the industry…

I have already convened one meeting of key industry interests to address the present difficulties. This has led to positive action being taken to increase lamb sales on home and export markets. Further meetings are planned so that I can work with the industry to try to help the situation, which I acknowledge is difficult. The Meat and Livestock Commission and SQBLA both have resources available to help promote and market lamb. Recently, I announced that I would provide SQBLA with an extra £150,000 to help find new markets for Scottish beef and lamb.
