§ 45. Mr. Costainasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he has any proposals to encourage retailers and manufacturers to accept the return of glass and plastic containers for reuse.
§ Mr. MoyleI have been asked to reply.
Many bottles are already returned and reused. The food and drink industries are aware of the need to extend the reuse of containers where this is economic and technically possible and my officials are keeping in touch with certain studies in industry which have now started.
