Welsh First Minister criticises Tory Government over deposit return scheme stance in Scotland
Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford has said he would dispute the use of the internal markets act to stop the Scottish Government including glass in its deposit return scheme.
Wales, who had intended to go ahead with their deposit return scheme which includes glass, may no longer be able to do this after the UK Government stepped in to say the Scottish Government could not have glass in theirs. He told the BBC: “We are considering the implications for our scheme, which includes glass and always did.“At the moment, glass is in our scheme and that’s the way we expect it to stay.
