HC Deb 20 June 1973 vol 858 cc140-1W
Mr. David Stoddart

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to standardise bottle shapes and sizes.

Mr. Anthony Grant

No. I do not consider there is a need for legislation for this purpose at the present time. This is a matter for the industries concerned to decide and I understand that discussions are proceeding in the British Standards Institution with the object of achieving a greater degree of standardisation.
