HC Deb 03 May 1971 vol 816 c258W
Mr. Cordle

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the quantity and value of bottles imported into Great Britain for use by the wine and spirit trade, during the last 12-month period for which figures are available; and what were the corresponding figures for the previous 12-month period.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Imports of bottles for use by the wine and spirit trade alone are not separately distinguished. Figures for beer, wine, spirit and similar bottles are published in the Annual Statement of Trade up to 1969 and in Table IV of the monthly Overseas Trade Statistics for later periods.
