Legal challenge over DRS glass decision ‘unlikely to be fruitful’, says Robison

A

legal challenge to the UK Government’s effective block on glass in Scotland’s deposit return scheme (DRS) is “unlikely to be fruitful”, according to Deputy First Minister Shona Robison.

The UK Government’s decision to offer only a partial exemption to the Internal Market Act – the trade rules governing the countries of the UK – for the scheme, excluding glass and imposing other conditions, resulted in the DRS being delayed again.
