Janet Finch-Saunders

Responding to the Welsh Labour Government’s decision to diverge from the four nation Deposit Return Scheme (DRS), Janet Finch-Saunders MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Climate Change Minister, said: 

“The Labour Government in Wales insisted it would work in tandem with UK Labour, yet it is clear from this announcement that cooperation has fallen apart within Eluned Morgan’s first 100 days.

“With thousands crossing the Welsh – English border on a daily basis, 16 million people living within 50 miles of the border in England and Wales, and trade between both countries fluid, it is essential that we have the same Deposit Return Scheme.

“The Welsh Conservatives have been calling for the implementation of a DRS since 2016, taking inspiration from schemes around the world. Welsh Labour need to reconsider their decision and honour the agreement they made with the four UK nations.”
