§ Dr. M. S. Millerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the cost of the pint milk bottle in relation to the profit agreed with milk retailers; and how many times, on average, each milk bottle is used.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI understand that the cost of a one-pint glass milk bottle is about 5p and that in England and Wales each milk bottle is used about 20 times on average. The liquid milk pricing arrangements envisage an average rate of profit for milk distributors but the actual profit will clearly vary from company to company.
