The Minister for Business is a Junior ministerial post in the Scottish Government. As a result, the Minister does not attend[2] the Scottish Cabinet. The post was retitled in May 2024, with the Minister supporting the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Gaelic, Kate Forbes.[3]
