The deadline for the removal of UK Government conditions on Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) is due to expire today, with it potentially being scrapped if ministers do not back down.
Scotland’s First Minister set the timeline in a letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Saturday, saying a failure to revoke the conditions would put the scheme in “grave danger”.
Last week, UK ministers approved a partial exemption to the Internal Market Act for the deposit scheme, but stipulated glass cannot be involved north of the border.
