Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on proposals to introduce a deposit return scheme.
Ministerial colleagues and officials from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have regular engagement with counterparts from across the devolved administrations on this topic.
The UK Government remains in contact with Devolved Government officials and with industry to understand plans to deliver the Scottish Government scheme, and discuss cross-UK alignment on key decisions where appropriate.
