HC Deb 21 April 1913 vol 52 c43W
Mr. BECK

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the recent decision in the case of the Wine and Spirit Trades Association v. Messrs. Piper, Limited, he will consider the advisability of appointing a small expert committee to consider the whole question of basis wines, both as regards their unfair competition with genuine wines and the loss to the revenue caused by the sale, duty free, of so-called British wines?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am making inquiries in this matter, and will communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.
