HC Deb 10 December 1936 vol 318 cc2161-2
37. Mr. LEES-JONES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the imposition of a higher excise duty on so-called British wines, which are manufactured solely from material of foreign origin?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Chamberlain)

I regret that I cannot anticipate my Budget statement.

Sir ASSHETON POWNALL

In frameing his Budget, will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the unfair com-

petition which is produced by the so-called foreign wines?
