Is Lorna Slater shirking responsibility for failed Deposit Return Scheme? | Planet Holyrood

A waste firm has pointed the finger at axed Green Party minister Lorna Slater for them suffering a £150million loss over the failed bottle recycling scheme.
Biffa has now launched an action against the Scottish Government to recoup the cash in the Court of Session and has named her in their legal claim.
The recycling firm is seeking compensation for the money they invested in the collapsed Deposit Return Scheme and the subsequent loss of profit.

Slater should have been fired over this mess she was out of her depth....these ministers need to take responsibility for their actions....when it comes to public money they just don't care

[@gavinmcinally8442]

Blaming Westminster 😅😅😅 Well I never seen that coming.

[@alexgrant4216]

Of course she is,and has done it all through her political career 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Millie.com232]

Surely the civil service and the central legal office would have seen and highlighted these constitutional problems? Roseanna Cunningham and Lorna Slager both held this brief.

[@stuartfowler9700]

She or is it he is a total waste of space👍

[@etheltough8924]

Why should we the public have to pay for her incompetent behaviour ???????

[@ianross225]

Why indeed? In business this moron would never have been appointed yet in government can squander public money with impunity.

[@davidjordan6159]

We managed to do this when I was at school 30 years ago for goodness sake. Utterly useless

[@user-jd7tj1jz7v]

She should be made to pay that out of her own money.Not the dark bear.If you can't do it sell up take the money in the state of argentina

[@alexispaterson814]

Fergus Ewen has told Slater to sue WM if they were at fault.

[@desgilroy1357]

No experience in running a business and she was given that role was there ever going to be any other outcome. If it were a success she would have stood up for the applause, he tactic now is to run.
