§ 64. Sir Gifford Foxasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the destruction by fire of the temporary premises of the Milton Proprietary, Limited, at Goring, and that a vast quantity of bottles used by the firm were recovered as salvage; that the Henley Rural District Council has had an opportunity of disposing of the bottles, but the firm is now burying the bottles because it is cheaper to order new bottles than to refit the old; and whether this waste can be stopped?
§ Mr. Harold MacmillanI am aware of the circumstances mentioned in the first part of my hon. Friend's Question, but I am informed that the company propose to retain and re-use the whole bottles and to sell the broken bottles for scrap.
§ Sir G. FoxAre not these bottles of use, and would it not be better to sell them?
§ Mr. MacmillanI said in my reply that the company have agreed to reclaim and re-use the whole bottles and to sell the broken bottles for scrap.
