A FLAGSHIP recycling policy has split the Scottish Government after Lorna Slater accused Secretary Kate Forbes of not understanding how it works.
Finance The deposit return scheme is due to launch in August and means shoppers will pay 20p extra when buying drinks in a can or bottle, with the cash returned when the empty container is brought in for recycling.
Green MSP Slater, the minister responsible, is under increasing pressure after dozens of drinks firms claimed it was not fit for purpose and could put them out of business.
SNP leadership contender Forbes warned the scheme could cause "economic carnage" if implemented as it stands.
She has pledged to halt it if she becomes the next first minister.
