HC Deb 12 May 1932 vol 265 cc2092-3W
Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider the desirability of publishing in future the aggregate yield in this country from the Whisky Duty instead of grouping it together with the yield from all spirits; and whether there is any objection and, if so, what, to the adoption of this policy?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No official records are kept which distinguish "whisky" from other "home-made spirits," and consequently it is not possible to publish separately the amount yielded by the duty on whisky alone.
