英国官方批评苏格兰的存款计划针对未披露的风险推出, 理由是商业损失和延误。 UK official criticizes Scotland’s deposit scheme rollout over undisclosed risks, citing business losses and delays.

前英国国务卿杰克(Alister Jack)指控苏格兰政府“完全不负责任”, 因为它没有披露其存款返还计划的风险, 特别是根据《国内市场法》在联合王国全境可能禁止玻璃瓶豁免。 Former UK Secretary of State Alister Jack accused the Scottish Government of being "utterly irresponsible" for not disclosing risks to its deposit return scheme, particularly the potential UK-wide ban on glass bottle exemptions under the Internal Market Act. 他作证说,2022年Lorna Slater部长的一封信误导了企业,包括Biffa废物服务公司,信中表示对该计划的启动有信心,但没有明确说明该计划取决于IMA的无担保豁免。 He testified that businesses, including Biffa Waste Services, were misled by a 2022 letter from minister Lorna Slater that expressed confidence in the scheme’s launch without clearly stating the plan depended on an unsecured IMA exemption. Biffa现在要起诉1.66亿英镑的拖延。 Biffa is now suing for £166 million over the delay. Slater认为这封信是准确的,并不打算说服投资,说豁免风险已经众所周知。 Slater defended the letter as accurate and not intended to persuade investment, saying the exemption risk was known. Jack引述了1,000多起商业投诉,并警告说经济和消费者会受到影响,特别是在生活费危机期间。 Jack cited over 1,000 business complaints and warned of economic and consumer impacts, especially during the cost-of-living crisis. 预计英国的DRS将在2027年之前实施.
