HC Deb 12 March 1962 vol 655 c120W
85. Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many million bottles of soft drinks were produced in the United Kingdom in the latest convenient year.

Mr. Vane

This information is not available. In 1961, nearly 43.8 million gallons of concentrated soft drinks and nearly 231.6 million gallons of unconcentrated soft drinks were produced. In view of the great variation in size of bottles, it is impossible to say how many bottles this is equivalent to.
