HC Deb 18 December 1967 vol 756 c289W
Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of the public confidence in the distribution of liquids in non-returnable glass containers, he will take steps to encourage the greater use of this container on grounds of safety and hygiene.

Mr. Ennals:

Provided that containers present no undue risk to the public, I have no grounds for preferring one type to another. Containers used to supply food or drink to the public must satisfy the relevant requirements of the Food Hygiene (General) Regulations, 1960, irrespective of the materials from which they are made.
