The use of polycarbonate for pub glasses is back on the political agenda after the Labour MP for Wrexham, Ian Lucas, tabled a House of Commons motion that would ensure that bars and clubs with a poor safety record couldn’t serve drinks in glass.
"There are ways of making sure that pubs and clubs with poor record on violent incidents will not be able to use glass," said Lucas, who was inspired to table a motion after hearing the story of a female student who was scared after being hit by a flying bottle on a night out in Wrexham.
The MP tabled the Plastic Glasses and Bottles (Mandatory Use) motion under the 10-minute rule. A date of 26 October has been set for its second reading, however, a shortage of Parliamentary time will almost certainly see the bill fail before it reaches the statue books.
"There are various alternatives to glass available," Lucas explained. "They are much less dangerous. We need to be ensuring that polycarbons are used instead of glass."
