Correspondence from the Cabinet Secretary to the Convener, 1 April 2020
Dear Gillian
Thank you for your letter of 26 March regarding The Deposit and Return Scheme for Scotland Regulations 2020.
After debate, the amendment was agreed to ((DT) by division: For 88 (including 2 proxy votes), Against 26, Abstentions 0). The motion, as amended, was then agreed to (DT).
I must intervene on behalf of employers in the Borders and Midlothian, because they have certainly not lost “cheap labour”. They do not have bus drivers or people in hotels, and they certainly were not taking them on the cheap.
Shows provide a chance for like-minded people to get together, celebrate success, share best practice and chew over the latest prices, weather and beasts.
