Scotland’s planned Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) “cannot go ahead as currently planned”, the minister in charge of it has admitted.
Lorna Slater said the scheme - which was to have been the first of its kind in the UK - had been “shot down by Westminster”.
First Minister Humza Yousaf has already warned the UK Government’s insistence that glass should not be included in the Scottish scheme puts the future of the environmental initiative in “grave danger”.
