§ Mr. LEES-JONESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many gallons of British wine have been produced and sold in this country during the years ending 30th September, 1934, 1935 and 1936, respectively?

Gallons. 1934 3,927,309 1935 4,522,189 1936 5,621,420
§ Mr. LEES-JONESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider transferring British wines from the category of sweets to that of intoxicating liquors?
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEI am not clear what my hon. Friend has in mind, as the law already treats British wines or sweets as intoxicating liquor.
