The Government has today unveiled two prototype "revolutionary" pint glasses designed to be safer than traditional glass but more popular than the plastic versions currently available
According to reports, talks are already underway with "major pub chains" about trialing one of the new designs, which the Government hopes will be ready within 12 months.
The two containers were produced by the Home Office-backed Design Out Crime programme and the Design Council, with the aim of reducing the 87,000 glass attacks that happen each year
We are yet to learn whether the Government will call for them to be compulsory in pubs.
