Alister Jack has denied the UK Government would be liable for paying compensation to businesses if a controversial recycling scheme is scrapped.
The Scottish Secretary insisted it would have "nothing to do" with Westminster if firms are left out of pocket as a result of the deposit return scheme (DRS) being halted.
Humza Yousaf previously claimed Tory ministers had left his government in a "really difficult position" over whether to proceed with the flagship recycling initiative, which has already been delayed twice.
