Mr. Cohen

To ask the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed, as representing the House of Commons Commission, how many bottles are used per annum in the precincts of the House; and what provision is made for glass recycling.

Mr. Beith

Bottle bank facilities, comprising two 1,100 litre capacity containers, are situated between Peers Court and State Officers Court. The containers are emptied daily by a contractor who sends the glass for recycling. Records are not kept of the total number of bottles used or disposed of each year.

The purchase of food and other consumables in the Refreshment Department is the responsibility of the Director of Catering Services, who will be glad to respond to any further inquiries from the hon. Gentleman.
