Here are the business stories making the headlines across Scotland and the UK this morning.
Supermarkets may be asked to freeze prices of milk, eggs and bread
UK supermarkets are being urged by the government to limit food prices in return for easing regulations.
It is thought the policy would be voluntary and apply to key groceries – such as eggs, bread, and milk - according to retail industry sources with knowledge of the plans.
It is understood the Treasury had asked retailers to freeze price rises on certain products in exchange for an easing of packaging policies and a potential delay to rule changes around healthy food.
UK should set maximum working temperature rules, advisers say
The UK should introduce a maximum temperature for workplaces to protect people as heatwaves intensify due to climate change, the government's adviser has said.
The Climate Change Committee (CCC) said that rolling out air conditioning and other cooling technologies in schools and hospitals should be one of the government's highest priorities.
It warned that increasingly extreme heatwaves, droughts and floods were threatening the British "way of life", from sports matches to music festivals.
Greene King sells Old Speckled Hen to Spanish brewer
Greene King has called time on Old Speckled Hen after more than a quarter of a century as the pub chain moves away from selling its beers in shops and supermarkets.
The company has struck a deal to sell the Old Speckled Hen family of beer brands, which it has owned since 1999, to Damm UK, the owner of Estrella Damm, the family-owned Spanish brewing business, for an undisclosed price.
The sale forms part of a wider shift in Greene King’s brewing strategy away from selling its own beers through the off-trade, via supermarkets and other retailers.
NS&I to begin contacting victims of lost funds scandal
Bereaved people hit by the National Savings and Investments (NS&I) lost funds scandal should be contacted by the bank in the coming weeks about accessing their loved ones' money.
Thousands of people were not paid all the money that their deceased relatives had kept with the bank, due to errors in identifying all NS&I products held by the customer before they died.
The estates of some 34,000 deceased people were affected, with the bereavement claims totalling £367m.
New sleeping pods on overnight ferries welcomed
New lie-flat sleeping pods installed on overnight ferries between Aberdeen, Orkney and Shetland are proving a hit - selling out on the first night they were open to the public.
The upgrade by Serco NorthLink Ferries replaced 30 sleeping pods which only partially reclined with 18 electronically-powered seats that convert into fully-flat beds.
The move follows years of passenger complaints about cabin capacity, affordability and safety concerns over potentially driving while still tired.
