Question
To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with the glass sector regarding its proposed deposit return scheme.
Answer
Scottish Government officials most recently met with representatives of the glass sector on 27 and 28 August to discuss our proposals for a Deposit Return Scheme. Those discussions followed a meeting I undertook with representatives of the sector on 26 June.
The Government will shortly publish the legislation required to implement DRS and we remain committed to engaging with the glass sector as part of the wider scrutiny of our plans in this area.
