Ms Tara Buckley:

In response to Dr. Hogg, there are a lot of issues around what a deposit and return scheme would look like and cost. He said it would drive footfall but one of the issues for small retailers these days is that everyone tells them their thing will drive footfall to their stores but the retailers have to turn on the lights, pay the staff and organise the facility, training, etc., so talking about driving footfall is not good enough. They have to know that it will be cost-effective and that they will be able to pay for the service. I ask him to keep that is mind.
