Humza Yousaf gave the Prime Minister a deadline of Monday, or risk “grave danger” to the Scottish scheme, later telling the PA news agency he “struggles to see it going ahead” with the conditions imposed. First Minister @HumzaYousaf has written to @RishiSunak calling for an urgent rethink on Scotland’s deposit return scheme (DRS). The most controversial of the conditions would see glass stripped from the scheme in Scotland, something Mr Jack said is a matter of concern to businesses. “Regrettably, specific passages of this letter were leaked to the media misrepresenting C&C’s position on DRS. “These claims have seriously jeopardised a £10 million investment in glass recycling planned for Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme.”
