HC Deb 17 November 1927 vol 210 cc1120-1
70. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is investigating the constituents of ginger wine with a view to action on the next Budget?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I had the pleasure of dealing with ginger wine in this year's Budget, and I am not contemplating any change in the arrangement sanctioned by Parliament in the Finance Act.

Mr. W. THORNE

May I ask whether Members of the Government drink any of this ginger wine?

Mr. PALING

Give some to the Prime Minister.

Commander BELLAIRS

Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that ginger wine is notoriously a very quick mover.
