HC Deb 25 November 1963 vol 685 c8W
61. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is aware that several dairy companies which previously supplied half-pint bottles of milk now propose to discontinue this practice and use only pint bottles, and that this will inflict a hardship, particularly on old-age pensioners; and if he will introduce legislation requiring milk suppliers to supply half-pint bottles where they are required.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

My right hon. Friend feels he would not be justified in imposing a requirement of the kind suggested by the hon. Member.
