HC Deb 22 June 1967 vol 748 c313W
40 and 41. Mr. Bob Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what evidence he has of increased bottle throwing in public places as a direct result of the introduction of the non-returnable glass containers for soft drinks; and if he will make a statement;

(2) what increase in personal injuries in public places has occurred as a result of the introduction of the non-returnable glass soft drinks bottle; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Taverne

I have no evidence that the introduction of non-returnable bottles for soft drinks has led to increased bottle throwing in public places, or to more personal injuries.
