HC Deb 03 July 1972 vol 840 cc3-4W
27. Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, in view of the fact that in Argentine and Brazil inferior local spirits are being passed off as genuine Scotch whisky, he will make diplomatic representations to the two Governments concerned to have this practice stopped.

Mr. Kershaw

At the present time we have not been requested by the Scotch Whisky Association to make diplomatic representation about such cases. Departments are in regular touch with the association and are prepared to consider any cases which are brought to our attention.
