HC Deb 06 December 1972 vol 847 cc417-8W
55. Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans the Government have for setting up a working party to consider the environmental difficulties in relation to packaging; and what plans there are to coordinate the work of the three study groups involved with tin, glass and plastics.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

This was discussed at a national conference of interested bodies convened in London last year, and my Department has since been considering the conclusions. The question of co-ordinating the work of the three study groups will be further considered as soon as their reports are available.
