More than 20 business groups wrote a joint letter to John Swinney. They ask him to stop his plan for a legal cap on some food and drink prices. The groups say the plan is not working well. They call it “ineffective.” They want the government to choose a different way to help people pay for food. The letter is a strong warning from business leaders. They think the price cap could cause other problems. Swinney must now decide what to do next.
