Conservative response to Labour's embargoed Deposit Return Scheme announcement

Andrew Griffith MP, Shadow Business Secretary, said:

“Labour's levy on packaging is another cost for hard pressed families, pushing up the price of the weekly shop.

“This government talks about growth, but words are cheap. When you look at their actions, every day they are shackling our economy with higher taxes and more red tape on business.

“Under new leadership, the Conservatives are unafraid to call out schemes dreamed up in Whitehall that will do more harm than good.”
