After the extended period of negotiation and discussion between the devolved authorities, Wales has decided to proceed alone and include glass in its DRS. The previous Conservative Government decided that, due to the internal market Act of 2020, they would exclude glass. I have sympathy with Wales and feel that it is a lost opportunity, bordering on negligence, not to include glass. However, to give as an excuse that there was insufficient time available to include glass is derisory. Scotland has already installed its DRS machines and equipment, but it is lying idle, waiting for the Government to make their mind up about what they want to do.
