Retailers hit out at 'sorry saga'
The body representing retailers in Scotland has described the row over the future of the deposit return scheme as a "sorry saga".
Ewan MacDonald-Russell, deputy head of the Scottish Retail Consortium, says lessons must be learned.
He adds: "The scheme has been bedevilled by a rush to unachievable dates and a failure to take on board businesses' reasonable and practical suggestions.
"There is an urgent need to move beyond that and deliver this as a project without the politics."
Scheme 'torpedoed at the last minute' says Slater
Scottish Greens MSP Mark Ruskell says Holyrood has been treated with “utter contempt” by the Westminster Tories and asks about the impact on both the environment and Scotland’s democracy.
Slater says she shares the frustrations of many that the scheme has been “torpedoed at the last minute by [Scottish Secretary] Alister Jack”.
Scottish ministers told to ‘take some responsibility’
Labour backbencher Mercedes Villalba points out the Scottish government has spent £280m on the project so far and urges it to “take some responsibility” for its decision.
Slater tells Holyrood that it is the UK government’s actions which have put the Scottish government in an “impossible position”.
UK government 'acting in bad fairh'
Slater, in turn, accuses the UK government of being a “bad faith actor" for changing its mind on glass.
The Green minister says the Scottish government is “absolutely operating in good faith here” but needs more from its UK government counterparts.
SNP 'more interested in a constitutional fight'
Copyright: BBCScottish Labour MSP Sarah Boyack accuses the SNP and Tories of being “more interested in a constitutional fight” than making the scheme work.
Ms Boyack claims “Scotland is paying the price for two bad governments” and asks what are the next steps for getting the scheme back on track.
Slater vows to eventually deliver deposit scheme
Slater says the Scottish government has been "left with no other option" but to postpone the launch of the scheme.
But she adds: "this parliament voted for a deposit return scheme. I am committed to a deposit return scheme. Scotland will have a deposit return scheme."
Businesses say they cannot prepare properly

The Scottish government minister says these firms need more certainty about the changes being required by the UK government.
