A child resistant closure (CRC) 14 forms part of a container 1. The container 1 has a neck 12 comprising at least two circumferential beads 13, 15. Each of the beads has a respective interruption 34, 36 at respectively different radial positions. The CRC also has a lid 18 rotatable relative to the neck and formed with a locking member 30 which engages with the lowest bead 36 in the closed position. The CRC could instead be two-piece with the beads being formed inside a collar for fixing to the neck of a container. <IMAGE>
