John Lamont

Conservative — Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 July 2025

Debate

Global Plastics Treaty

Contribution

The hon. Member is making a very good speech. I agree with him about the need to take the public and business with us. In Scotland we had a real challenge with the deposit return scheme that the Scottish Government tried to impose, because business was up in arms about it, and it was going to impact on the internal market. Does he agree that that is an example of where it can go very badly wrong if we do not take the public and business with us?
