Leaders in Westminster and Holyrood have been urged to get round a table to sort out a growing row over Scotland’s deposit return scheme, after the Scottish first minister indicated that it could be scrapped due to restrictions imposed in London.
Humza Yousaf wrote to the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, saying the UK government’s decision to in effect remove glass containers from the scheme – under which retailers would take a 20p deposit on single-use containers, refundable on return – has put the whole plan in “grave danger”.
