Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to receive the report of the Waste Management Advisory Council on returnable bottles and containers for liquids.

Mr. Marks

Data on the environmental and economic implications of returnable and non-returnable beverage containers systems is still being collected and evaluated, but the working party which is conducting the study now hopes to report by the middle of the year.
