Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it expects to appoint a scheme administrator under the Deposit and Return Scheme for Scotland Regulations 2020.
Answer
A coalition of major drinks producers and trade bodies has confirmed to us its intention to apply for approval as a scheme administrator. Under the Deposit and Return Scheme for Scotland Regulations 2020, Scottish Ministers have 28 days from receipt of an application to grant or refuse it. No application has been received at this point.
