Digital DRS is an approach to DRS that is in its infancy and is still being tested and trialled, and for that reason it is not the right time to commit to a full scale digital DRS.

We do recognise the benefits of a digital model and remain interested in seeing the continued testing of the feasibility for introducing a digital scheme in the future.
