§ Mr. William Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to set up a national bottle recovery service, or provide financial 376W assistance towards the establishment of such a service privately.
§ Mr. ChatawayI have been asked to reply.
I do not consider that the establishment of a national bottle recovery service would be justified, nor am I aware of any grounds for providing financial assistance to private contractors operating such a service.
