§ Wines also must contribute. As from to-morrow the duty on light wines will be increased by 2s. per gallon, and on heavy wines by 4s., making the duty on light wines 8s. per gallon, and 16s. per gallon on heavy wines. The preference for wines from the Dominions and Colonies will be retained, and the new Empire duty will be at the rate of 6s. for light wines and 12s. for heavy wines. British wines—that is, wines made in this country—will have their duty increased from 3s. 6d. to 5s. 6d. per gallon. Despite a decline in imports which must be anticipated and some change in personal habits, I expect to receive additional revenue of about £2,000,000 in a full year and £1,500,000 during the present year.
