Kate Forbes against Deposit Return Scheme calling it 'complex'

Kate Forbes has backed calls to pause the scheme to allow businesses some “breathing space” to recover from the cost-of-living crisis. Speaking as she launched her official leadership campaign at the Cairngorm Brewery in Aviemore, the Scottish Highlands, Ms Forbes said the scheme was “well intentioned”, but said significant concerns had emerged about its execution. She told journalists: “It’s execution is leaving businesses like (the Cairngorm Brewery) fearing for their future. “It’s leaving businesses like this fearing the economic carnage it will cause if the timetable continues as planned right now. “The idea of having a deposit return scheme is sound, but we cannot have a scheme that is well intentioned but fails to achieve its aims and causes economic carnage in the process.” She added: “(Businesses) back the scheme, they want it to work. But right now, they do not have the information and the confidence in an overly complex scheme.” “What businesses need is a bit of breathing space. They have gone through Covid, Brexit, the cost of living, their energy bills have gone up exponentially and the Government should be giving them a bit of space rather than putting additional complex bureaucratic requirements on them.” Become a Scottish Sun Subscriber and hit the bell to be the first to know Read The Sun: http://www.theScottishsun.co.uk Like The Sun on Facebook:   / thescottishsun   Follow The Sun on Twitter:   / scottishsun   #kateForbes #snp #scotland
