First Minister Humza Yousaf had earlier warned that it was in 'grave danger' after the UK government ruled it could only go ahead without glass bottles included in it
In a letter on Monday, UK government ministers Michael Gove, Alister Jack, and Therese Coffey said the limited exemption provided a"practical solution to proceed with the Scottish government's scheme, balanced with the need to uphold the UK's internal market , ensuring a level playing field for all British businesses and consumers as we maximise the benefits of aligned schemes across the UK in the future".
"And these delays and dilutions lie squarely in the hands of UK government that has sadly seemed so far more intent on sabotaging this parliament than protecting our environment."
