HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 c110W
57. Mr. Pavitt

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is his estimate of the increase in the cost of living caused by the cost of packaging in excess of that necessary for the protection of the goods sold.

Mr. Darling:

No such estimate is possible. The amount of packaging necessary for the protection of any particular goods is clearly a matter of opinion.
