HC Deb 04 March 1976 vol 906 c714W
30. Mr. Crawford

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the amount accruing to the Exchequer during the fiscal year 1975–76 from the duty on Scotch whisky.

Mr. Denzil Davies

The 1975 Budget estimate of duty receipts from spirits in the financial year 1975–76 was £640 million. The duty on whisky is expected to account for rather more than half of this.
