GREEN Minister Lorna Slater has insisted the controversial Deposit Return Scheme will go ahead in spite of Tory calls to pause it.

Last week, Secretary of State for Scotland Alister Jack told ministers it was "not too late to think again" on the DRS as he urged them to halt its August launch.
But Slater said the Tory minister "doesn't know what's going on" and claimed the UK Treasury had privately backed the SNP-Green Government's plans.
