asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the amounts spent on beer and spirits and fuel and light in Scotland during the years 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942 and 1943.

The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. Westwood)

My right hon. Friend regrets that the information asked for is not available. The Excise figures which are available bear no necessary relationship to areas of consumption.
