Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. I also offer my solidarity and support to him and his officials in the face of the abhorrent abuse that he has been on the receiving end of. Is the Minister aware of what budget will be required to roll out the deposit return scheme? What lessons can be learned from the scheme in the South to minimise inconvenience and expense and maximise environmental benefit?
