McArthur responds to brewery chief comments on DRS

Responding to comments made by Dougal Sharp, founder of the Innis and Gunn Brewing Company, on BBC Radio Scotland this morning where he described the implementation of the Deposit Return Scheme as “a bonfire of chaos,” pointing out that there has been “chaos from the outset and the chaos continues,” Scottish Liberal Democrat climate emergency spokesperson Liam McArthur MSP said:  

“Businesses are being completely messed around by a government that seems to have been hellbent on making a pig’s ear of a good idea.  

“Given the confusion and uncertainty that reigns, businesses need both Scotland’s governments to start acting like the adults in the room and agree a way forward. Sadly, we seem to be a million miles away from that right now.”
